Many thanks to the Dargs

Thanks!! It was fun! You left too early- we were practicing SoWal sticker "product placement" on our posteriors later in the evening....

Party Ball was drained dry. Now, washed and ready for the next event!

for an AWESOME New Year's Eve gathering! It was so nice to meet so many of you!

BTW, the margaritas in the par-tay ball were great!

Thanks so much for putting together such a great get together...I hate to go out on amateur night.

Of course, I have yet to get out of bed. I was worshipping at the porcelain altar until the wee hours. Apparently I have no ability to resist the Dargaritas!

Oh my! Guess you aren't up for a big greasy nasty lunch today, huh?

I had a fantastic time last night! It was so great to get together with old friends and meet so many new ones. Thanks jdarg and bdarg for being such wonderful hosts! Y'all are the best!

OK, that was punzey posting under my name above-she felt like she needed to extract revenge or some such on me. I did not worship the porcelain god too much. I drank way too much dargarita. I must clarify, I did not drive Tootsie home, I was passed out in the passenger side, demanding to be told where we were every few minutes and then not believing the reply.

Then I came back to Punzey's. I turned on Jim Morrison's American Prayer, and did an interpretive dance for a while. I then went out to the dock and made primal howling noises to welcome in the New Year. Then, as the sun rose, I went to Grayton Beach, stripped down to my underwear, and did a polar bear swim.

I hate it when Rapunz hijacks my posts. First paragraph true, second, false. Creative, but false.

Where are the pix

Yes, thanks to the Dargs. The Dargaritas went down much too smoothly as did the other refreshments. Thanks to all who brought food! It was delicious! pics? oh, there were a few pics taken. I am glad someone was able to ring in the new year, because I was asleep before 11pm.

Where are the pix

Ah yes.............. the obligatory SoWal foot pic

This is just too funny

That Pumpkin Cheesecake was amazing! GTTBM (who hates pumpkin) loved it too.

all I wanted and ate was punzy's brownies!!! :clap_1:

loved the shrimp dip and roasted veggies.. I did not get any pumpkin cheesecake - jdarg must of hidden the whole thing. and I did not get any of stef's artichoke bruschetta - I think SJ ate it all...

all I want right now is some chicken pot pie... sounds delish!!

wow, i'm bummed to went to work over in orange beach yesterday. it was a really grat band and there sure were a boatload of dolled up 'blama girls drinking lite beer from cans, but it sure wasn't as fun as the dargs' apparently was. got out of there around around 4:15 with every intention of driving back home before going to san destin today to work on breaking down another one.

not to be. got as far as the east side of the pensacola bridge before i had to pull over. got up at around 9am and went on to san destin. got home at 4pm. shoulda stay here. on the other hand, i've worked every nye for as long as i can remember.

my rant regarding perdido key will follow soon.

Well, I can make another Pumpkin CheeseCake. They are a bit tasty. As for the artichoke bruschetta, I did sample and like it very much, but for somereason, I was drawn mostly to Spicy Sausage Balls which FutureBeachBum made. -- I finished them off! I tried the Turkey too, and loved it!

Lovely party, lovely crowd! Thanks for hosting the get together for everyone. Twas great to see all of you again. Looking forward to a wonderful New Year and to yet another funn and storm-free SoWal year.

I know I told you both this about six times, but I LOVE MY SOWAL ORNAMENT!

I like my ornament too. BDarg is quite talented.

Donna, I just found and ate the Biscotti which you gave me last week. DE-LICIOUS!

FBB made those sausage balls? I loved those!
