Family and friends and a tribute to Laura & Mason’s expected new baby girl were reasons enough for Lynda and Ben to open their house and yard to about five dozen folks. Throughout the day they filtered in and out savoring treats from homemade quiche and watermelon to burgers and chicken on the grill and ice cream cake. It was good to have a relaxing day to hobnob with folks we’ve previously only met in more formal situations.
