Beware the Ides of March!


We have had Ides of March parties for many years - but not recently.
 

  A fave photo is this one I took of a message Eve left after one of our parties.  The first year Dawn came, she said, "Oh, I thought it would be much longer."  Apparently she had thought we were going to do the entire play!  I was impressed that she was still willing to come!


Party got bigger and bigger each year - and eventually it was just too much for me anyway - we haven't done one in several years.
 
The original Ides of March event was a birthday party for our dear friend Ronnie Horton. Now we just remember and recall.  And when I was teaching, I took the opportunity to explain it to my students - some of whom were more impressed than others.

Beware!!

"Beware the Ides of March!!"


Celebrating the Ides of March has been a long-standing Terrill family tradition - but it's not happening this year.  Too many complications.

But fond memories are in order - and maybe even a Caesar salad for dinner!
