This Summertime gathering at the IceHouse was enjoyed by all who attended, but I don't have any photos of the event. So, I hope these few words and images will kindle some fond remembrances for those who attended and (mild) regrets for those who didn't. PAM appeared frequently from her culinary vigil in the kitchen, to deliver trays and bowls of delectable edibles to the bottomless-pits of the guests, while RON mixed and mingled and sang with various clusters of barbershoppers and wanna-be's, until he lit off the grills to barbecue the chicken, ?!boneless!? ribs, hotdogs, and hamburgers around 4:30. The sounds of singing and chatting soon subsided to a contented murmer mingled with smacking-lips and finger-licks..V			Ron at one of the two active grills
- did not happen -	L> This (relative) silence didn't last for long, however. No one seems certain which happened first: the melodeous songs of the Sirens in the creek, or those of the barbershoppers on the lawn. Whichever, the barbershoppers on the lawn soon became barbershoppers on the pier and in the creek. A small cabin-cruiser arrived at the pier...		This didn't really happen either, SO THERE!
...and soon we were serenading the captain's mate to the tune of Honey Li'l Liz with half of us still in the water!	so PRETEND these Sirens are in the CREEK	yes, Barbershoppers in the CREEK, too!	(Rumor has it that this nonsense continued until almost midnight!)
