Domestic Partnership Celebrated

April 5: We celebrated our domestic partnership. We wore our kukui nut leis from Maui and Ellen greeted us at the door with ginger leis flown in from Hawaii!

Jim and Lisa hosted in their home near Mount Vernon in Alexandria, VA (the neighborhood was once part of George Washington's plantation).

Members of our dining club helped with the food. Hors d'oeuvres on the dining table (above); buffet in the family room (left).
