Hey! The quiet after the party is the best time to relax with a glass of wine. The quiet after the hubub is different, and the thoughts need some spirits to mellow.

Could not agree more. It takes some time for the body to mellow down, especially after you've been cooking and cleaning the entire day and entertaining the entire evening. The hosta always end up sleeping a good hour after the guests have left.

also I think I am in this stage (as your photographs -- not as elegant or beautiful of course) by the time guest number three comes home. Then the party is in the capable hands of my husband :-)

Hahaha! I think we are all there but somehow use our reserve energies to power through. Thank God for the partners and husbands who hold the fort!
