Party time in the Grove
This post was originally published by Blogfinger on July 17, 2012—exactly four years ago today. The Bastille Day tradition in the Grove has continued and was celebrated again this 2016 summer.
Here is the 2012 report:
July 14 was Bastille Day, and certain Grovers of French heritage had a party to celebrate. There were French foods including mussels and paté. Chandon champagne flowed, there was live entertainment, French sailors with red pom poms on their hats, and lots of laughs. Notice the efficient use of outdoor space at OG parties.

If you are having a party, send us some photos so that we can all enjoy it vicariously. No names — just pictures. You might recall our most recent Halloween party report last October.
These photos are by Lee Scogno of Ocean Grove who also added an Italian touch by bringing his own recipe: pasta with clams. The naked photos of Bridgette Bardot in her prime have been rejected by our censors. —-Paul Goldfinger (Doigt d’or).
SOUNDTRACK; Play this while you look at the photos. Madeline Peyroux sings “J’ai Deux Amours” which means “I have two loves.” That’s a French thing to do, but none of that was going on at the OG Bastille Day party, but then again, who knows?
Note: Run your cursor along the bottom of the slide show, and a tool will appear to let you view the photos more carefully. (Cursors—foiled again!)
