About 4 PM, the entire gang began arriving and the evening of merriment commenced. My wife Jean unveiled her new recipe for pulled pork, coupled with her legendary potato salad. Two of my daughters-in-law contributed a homemade three-bean casserole, white wine sangria\u00a0and apple cake. My third daughter-in-law spent the day outfitting her family of four with back to school clothes and arrived ready for a glass of wine. Whoa. We remember those hectic shopping trips for kids\u2019 clothes. There\u2019s a special place in Heaven for Moms, for sure.<\/p>\n![\"golfer\"](\"http:\/\/www.hagarty-on-wine.com\/OnWineBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/IMG_1021.jpg\" "\\"golfer\\"")

Just kidding. We shot in the low eighties. If it gets any warmer, we don\u2019t play. My oldest son avoided any links embarrassment by spending\u00a0the day with his son and wife, who is expecting in a few months.<\/p>\n
