Last year, due to the COVID-19 virus, our annual Lobster Lungiversary Party to honor my donor and new lungs was cut down to four of us. This year thanks to our friends, Ro and Kathy, they opened up their home and backyard so we could resume the celebration with a large group.

We were worried when we saw the forecast of rain but NOTHING was going to prevent this crowd from celebrating this year! There was a large tent for some, a covered deck for others, and to keep us at a safe distance, we brought our bubble tents.

We own the tents because of this bunch. Last year when I was struggling being isolated, they came together to provide us with heaters and bubbles to stay social during cold and inclement weather. They sure came in handy this last Saturday night, just as we sat down for dinner, the skies unleashed heavy precipitation!!

After we finished the delicious crustaceans and fixings made by our chef friend @kitchenschlub and the “pretty pink lungs” cake that consisted of 1/2 raspberry cream filling and the other 1/2 lemon from @cakeboxmn, we weren’t expecting the summer showers that lasted for hours.

The downpour wasn’t going to stop the fun for this gathering, the mucic was turned on, disco ball was lit, dancing started, and well….you can only get so wet, so we embraced the elements of the warm summer rain!!

Most of us took advantage of the “waterfall” cascading off the upper deck and it was a good ol’ rain party to finish the magical night!!

Thanks to everyone that came together to continue the tradition, I love you all!!!
