These six images are the "Before The Melee" photos.
They are offered so that you will have visual proof that the house and its occupants were neat and well organized in advance of the
REVELRIES.

Please note that there was ample wine and Bloody Bull mix,
but maybe not enough snacks.

Perhaps THAT was the downfall.




Here we have Holli dutifully preparing the salad.
(She's so sweet!)



Holli's brother Keith (left) and father Don, waiting patiently for the dinner that never seemed to come.



Tod (Holli's extra good looking and intelligent son) and his lovely lady friend Jubilee.


Scott (Bob's extremely handsome son) holding Scampi (a new family member) with assistance from Kara and a serenade from Junior (both Mark's kids).
Gert (Holli's mom) supervises....



Kira (Bob's extremely lovely daughter) and her beau Mark. (Mark has earned "most favored" status.)


Holli and Scott having a philosophical discussion.
It seems that Holli felt Scott should take her orders.
Scott felt otherwise.



Tod, David, Jubilee, and Gert in the early afternoon.



Scott and Kira wrestling with the corn puddin'.
(a recipe from Bob's Granny's time.)


David Campos, Tod, and Jubilee in a late afternoon confab.
(The 2:00 dinner has turned into a 5:00 dinner.)


The "Opening of the Door Prizes".

Roughly 80 prizes in all,
although most were "not-so-prized".

Individually wrapped by the industrious host and hostess


Kira is making note of Holli's new ring.
Mark notes that dinner is finally ready
and ignores the ring.



Keith, Don and Gert eating the long awaited dinner.


Maitre-D-Holli again attempts
to advise Scott on his misbehavior.
Michelle eats. (She is, after all, smarter.)



THE GROUP


Sitting around the campfire,
looking at Pack-In pictures.
Kara sings an original composition.


AFTER.
(Note that the wine bottles are empty.)



We don't know just what was happening here.
Kira? Michelle? Kara? Anyone?
Anything to do with empty wine bottles?


THE END.
