The Rice of Spring 5/27/16

Our canine friends did their job to kick off the 2016 Bubb Park Mothers & Dogs Society Potlucks In The Park. Ten dogs brought, by approximate count, 21 families and 48 people on a perfect night. The full grown canopy of the trees at the mushroom tables gave us plenty of shade, and a gentle breeze kept everyone cool.

We had several new families join us, and a great range of kids from crawling to high school. It was fun to watch them playing in the park -- even as mothers kept a watchful eye on them.

A continuing "Thank You" to George Jacob for picking up, delivering and returning the goodies, and to Doreta Strotman and Vera Kark for providing talbes. Here's the list as best we got it. Enjoy!
