This month we attended a couple of great parties, mostly with family. We were invited to a 1920’s murder mystery dinner-the Grand Opening of the Four Deuces, a new speakeasy, all dressed in 1920’s appropriate attire (at least what we could find). Just before we were to start dinner a prominent guest was murdered. Inspector, Matt Kerr, (who was there investigating a murder from the night before) took charge of the situation and enlisted us all in helping to find the murderer and thus clear ourselves. While socializing we were trying to gather information about the murder and to further our own agenda for the evening. (We had all been given characters to play with pieces of gossip, knowledge, instructions, and money.) During our investigating another guest was murdered, who many people had thought committed the first murder, so that threw us off the scent and only one person guessed the murders correct at the end of the game. They gave out certificates for those with the most money: Dustin, the host; the best acting: the first victim; and the best costume: me! It was a great night and I got to try a new meatball recipe that turned out really good. It uses apple jelly and grape juice, which I’ve never thought to use for a meatball sauce but it works.
Halloween was very busy. Bryan dressed up as a Samurai and I dressed up as Princess Peach for a LAN (computer) party and played video games to 3:00 in the morning. Kimberlee was voted most attractive female, Matt was voted best overall and most original and I was voted best fit (character/personality). I had not played the games we played before and had fun with most of them. The next day (Saturday) we stayed at Dad and Karen’s for their Halloween party and got to see lots of costumes, eat food, and play rock band. Then on Sunday we went to the Birthday Bash at Grandma and Grandpa Gordon’s to have more treats and fun. It was an exciting weekend we got to see lots of family and friends.
