Greek Feast

To culminate our studies of Greece we had a Greek Feast. We invited Uncle Chip, roaster of tasty Greek food and Auntie Janet over to join us in our beautiful candlelit downstairs taverna. We put on our togas and chose one of the Greek gods to be for the evening.

Demeter, goddess of the hearth and home and Apollo reclining at table.

Here we are: Aprodite, goddess of love and beauty, Dyonisus god of wine and merriment, Hermes (pesky younger brother of Apollo), Demeter, Apollo, Zeus and Athena. I took the photo -- I was Hera, goddess of marriage, aka Queen of Heaven, don't you forget it!

After we were all in togas and getting underway, the phone rang. We didn't know who was on the other end but we heard Manu say, "Oh yeah! Come right over!!" Janet and I looked at each other in alarm -- Uh Oh! All the people we felt were okay to see us in togas were already in teh room. But it was allright. It was cousin Sara on the way home from a volleyball tournament. We dubbed her Nike, goddess of Victory and she was very excited to see us and to eat nummy grilled chicken.

At the end of the party, Hermes did a little Greek dancing!
