Twilight Polo

If you read our Sunday newsletter, then you know that my husband and I are staying with Amy and her family this week. We are having the best time!

They picked us up–along with our twelve bags + 1 cat–at the airport on Friday night and have pretty much spoiled us rotten ever since. I think we’re both officially over our jetlag at this point, thankfully, and are enjoying a few more days with them before we move into our temporary apartment in Northern Virginia.

Today I wanted to share some pictures from the twilight polo match we attended last Saturday; this was my first polo match in years despite having grown up in horse country (Potomac, MD). A polo match is mostly an excuse for fancy tailgating, and of course it’s traditional to wear all white.

We had fun putting together a picnic for our group of eight (two of Amy’s kids joined us, plus our daughter and her friend came out from DC to join us for an overnight).

Aren’t those Caspari napkins the cutest? We found them in a local shop downtown, but you can buy them online here. We thought they looked very fallish with our copper wineglasses and the coordinating plates.

The weather was perfect for Labor Day weekend and it was much cooler than usual at this time of year in the DC area.

Today everyone’s off to work or school, so I’m doing a few loads of laundry and cooking dinner (I’m making this chicken divan recipe that’s one of our family’s absolute favorites). Amy’s new house is beautiful and of course they have tons of plans to make it even beautifuller. Most of all, it’s comfortable and cozy and filled with friends. We may never leave!

Reunited with my baby girl

Enjoy your week, and thanks for stopping by.

      I was SO happy to see her! We had a wonderful week with Amy and her family, too. I hated to leave to check into our short term apartment on Saturday!

    Christy, I may have missed something, but will your sweet dog be joining you soon? I’m so happy you’re on this side of the ocean again. Best wishes as you settle in,

    Mary Ellen

      Oh, Mary Ellen, poor Harley died right before Christmas last year! I only mentioned it in a couple of blog posts because I was so upset about it. It was very sudden because he just got sick and died over about three days. We’re still not sure exactly what happened. 

      I am thankful that he was spared the stress of the trip back home, and that he did have some wonderful years with us after we rescued him. He was 13 (we think) when he died and that’s a good long life for a golden retriever.

      Thanks so much for checking on him (and us)!
