Party with the Tax Commission Folks

Since the seasonal work for the tax commission has ended, several of the temps got together for a summer barbeque celebration.  Terry really enjoyed the people that he worked with and wanted me to meet them.  A very enthusiastic friend that led everyone in stretches at 11:00 AM in the cubicles, had invited everyone to her house.  She said if was hot, you could bring your suit and she'd have her pool ready.

Even though they lived way out in Wilder, we were not expecting what we saw when we pulled up.  Terry's new fun friends are completely redneck.  They're very lay-back.  They do whatever they want and make their own fun.  It was a hot night and they turned on the sprinkler for the dog to cool off in, but several of the guest used the sprinkler too.  We never saw the pool, but it was something homemade.  The canal runs right behind their house.  Last year at their daughter's wedding most of the wedding party jumped in the canal fully dressed, including the girl's new mother-in-law.  That scored her acceptance points.  We met the geese and checked out all the chickens in the coop.  I should have taken more pictures.  We did have a nice time.  If Terry returns to tax commission next year, I'm sure we'll be back.  In a funny way, he fits in.

Beautiful view from their front yard (hazy and blurry).

View as we drove up - front yard and house.

Our hostess and her husband playing croquet.

The husband - reminded me of Cy, on Duck Dynasty (Yes, I've watched that show) - funny guy.

The front porch. A second dog, big and black, was on the porch, but went inside to cool off.
