Graduation Brunch: The Park, Sunday, mid-morning to mid-afternoon

[loverlyviolets]

A banner, the letters wrapped with fresh spring flowers, hung from the trees, spelling out CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 2009! No missing letters or anything.

Spread out across the park were plenty of tables and chairs, some under the shade of picnic shelters, some out on the grass in the sunshine. For those who felt like getting back to nature, there were even red and white checked blankets spread out in a few areas for old-fashioned picnic-y goodness. Lack of ants not guaranteed.

The long table that ran along next to the picnic shelters was laden with a vast moddable array of traditional brillig-y food, including fruit, veggie snacks, breakfast pastries, sandwiches for the especially hungry or those who arrived more toward the unch end of brunch, and a wide variety of J,GoB-catered desserts. Drinks included coffee, tea, juices and soft drinks, and while there were plates provided, there were also wee picnic-basket-shaped trays for carrying things back to your seat, wherever that might be.

A space had been cleared for dancing, if people cared to do more than just listen to the light music being played through the speakers, and there was also an area set aside for outdoor games of croquet, horseshoes, or frisbee.

Everybody's welcome. Come celebrate with the Class of '09!

"Should of known you'd be checking out the edibles. Hate to disappoint you big guy, but brick isn't on the menu."

"And barbecued jerk is?" Ben retorts, but there is no malice in his voice.

"Hey, hey now, definitely not a nice thing to say about the host," he said, slapping his hand on Ben's shoulder as he grinned wide.

"Really, glad you could make it. Seriously, man, you rock."

"That's pretty good," Ben said. "Take you all year to come up with that one?"

"I'm a bit rusty; try two years," he said. "But then I've often wondered what's between your ears." He cocked his head. "Oh, that's right. Your ears went bye-bye."

"And yet, I still gotta hear you yammer on," Ben said.

"...congratulations, by the way."

He raised his brows, grinning.

"Thanks," he replied. "You didn't have doubts, did you?"

"Who, me?" Ben said, innocently.

"Right. Hey, do me a favor? Try not to break anything or sit on anyone."

"Gee, there goes all my fun," Ben said, rolling his eyes.

"You could always try rolling down hill," he suggested. "I'm kind of curious to know if you could collect moss."

"Come here," Ben said, having been pushed past his limit on wisecracks.

Johnny started backing up, grinning. "Excuse us! Wide load! Coming through..." and he did his best to get lost in the crowd.

"Johnny!" Ben yelled, having lost him in the crowd.
