Val and Tony came over with some yummy spinach pies (and some non-vegetarian items) that everyone enjoyed. Jackie brought her new man, Matt - who hit it off with Thom immediately. Hannah, Tung and Kalisha rounded out the group.

We had a great time hanging out in the backyard with a not-quite-necessary fire. And we're looking forward to many fires out there in the coming weeks. (Thom took that last photo being sneaky on the deck.)
