Cbel's graduation party

It was a beautiful day for a bbq and celebrate C'bel's graduation from her MBA program. We all missed her graduation day festivities, but we got a chance to celebrate at the Matheny's fabulous diggs as they are the ultimate hosts. Congratulations C-bela, we heart you.

Gourmet BBQ is on! Grilled Portabella, Zucchini, Pasta Salad,  Miranda's salad,  Cbel's Guacamole,  Maureen's salsa, Bratwurst, Burgers, (I'm sure I missed something else)

Corn on the cob done to perfection 

Digging  in (it's all about the food)

"It is so easy to waste our lives: our days, our hours, our minutes.
It is so easy to take for granted the color of the azaleas,
the sheen of the limestone on Fifth Avenue,
the color of our kid's eyes,
the way the melody in a symphony rises and falls and disappears and rises again.
It is so easy to exist instead of live." 

By Anna Quindlen 

Congratulations Cbel, you didn't waste a minute these past few years.
