Because our friends Jim and Chris Nancarrow will be moving to Florida soon, we decided to create our 02/23/13 backgammon dinner party The Great 2013 Nancarrow Memorial Celebration Moving Backgammon Tournament And Dinner Party around them.

I had told everyone to come dressed half for winter and half for summer. I probably should have just forgot about the summer thing because the huge snow storm that had battered 20 states over the last few days rolled in as the party was getting started. Perhaps a better send off could not have been arranged! I had a summer shirt and shorts mixed with boots and snowshoe gaiters.

For dinner I fixed a baked chicken pot pie and desert was a cake that Sue had ordered with a decorative scene in icing on top. Check the picture as it was done so creatively - the little car going from the white of winter at the top of the cake down along a highway to the green of Florida.

Before we started the movie of the night - the 2012 remake of original 1990 version of Total Recall - Sue showed about a 10 minute slide show presentation that she had put together from all of the old pictures of Jim and Chris that we had been able to find that either I had or others from the karate group had sent in.
