"Well, now that we've got more guests, I better get those platters out here so we can all munch on stuff!" Grace got up quickly from the lounge and made her way into the kitchen, pulling out both the platter of crudités and the cold cuts. Bringing both platters out to the patio, she set them down on a table out of the sunlight. "Feel free to nosh all you like, folks! I have more stuff in the fridge, and I know Jim will have the ribs ready in a few hours, so this will take the edge off, if anyone is hungry."<br/><br/>She smiled and walked over to the girls. "Terry, Tessa, is there anything I can get you girls to drink? I'm pretty sure we have juice as well as the wine and beer. Just let me know, ok? So, how was the drive? Not too much traffic, I hope!"
