Pittsboro, NC

 Back to Pittsboro to attend Gretchen's "Roman" party!

Here is her cool invitation.  Read the slightly "Roman" words.  (Obviously, Gretchen really goes all-out for these events!)

 

We arrived fairly early - the hangar has been transformed into a Roman structure!  Gretchen and her nieces Gretchen and Katie did a fabulous job.

 

My sweet sis loaned us Duane's costume and I pieced mine together from some previous costumes.

 

Gretchen adding some Roman sourdough bread to the hefty appetizer buffet. 

Niece Gretchen and hubby Ben.  Adorable.

 

Dick and Lindy came from across the runway.

 

The band set up and played background music nicely.

And Gretchen finally made it down to the venue after a huge amount of cooking Roman foods!

 

A lovely evening.

Glad to see neighbors Barney and Jackie!

 

Sava, niece Gretchen's son took a particular shine to Duane.  He's a real sweety with lots of energy!

 

A really fun time.

 

And towards the end of the night, the two Gretchen's take a much needed break!
