A Garden Party

Saturday, we were invited to a garden party at the home of one of the members of the home group we attend.  A garden party in Hungary is not dressing up, walking around manicured lawns, carrying fancy umbrellas and eating tiny bites from small plates.  A garden party in Hungary is much more relaxed than that, thankfully.  What it means is that food is cooked and eaten in the back yard and the rest of the day is spent chatting, playing games and enjoying each other's company. 

Last year about this time we were invited to Sanyi and Márika's home, too.  They asked us to grill hamburgers for the group. This year, though, Sanyi cooked a lamb stew and Márika made a delicious cake/pudding dessert.  We ate far too much, talked and talked (actually, we mostly listened), played some foosball and played with Sanyi and Márika's 3-month-old daughter.  So it was almost like we were at a Memorial Day picnic.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!  Don't forget the price of the freedom we experience!
