Social Sunday

My favorite thing to do in life is to entertain at my home and cook for my friends...whether it be a child-friendly playdate, or special gathering...(remember my dream of a B&B!) Anyway, tonight, we just hosted the sea chantey group starting with a great BBQ including coconut shrimp, steak, corn on the cob, salad and pasta....I made my specialty drink...lemonade with selzer with fresh mint from the garden....homemade blueberry/peach crisp for dessert....I always think its fun to make dessert in the presence of company as a special way to bond with people, sharing the love....good thing I did this, because I received some good advice....cook the crisp with the peach skins ON!!! Oh, was it delicious!!!

After dinner/dessert....the music started, and we played lots of great tunes. Love having live music in my home, especially the sea chantey folks. They are such a dedicated group who meets regularly to rehearse....such interesting folks. It was great to get to know them better!!!

Food, friends, family, music...what else? How about spirituality...One of the best sermon's ever by Rev. Linda. Because it was her last one before she moves on to the next phase of her life, the place was packed!!! What an impressive person and she will be missed!

I should have made double the amount of sandwiches!!! (Yes it was my turn to make sandwiches for after service). I made turkey, monteray jack cheese sandwiches with cranberry sauce, lettuce...and WALNUTS!! They were gone in a matter of 5 minutes!!!

ANYWAY, have a big week planned!!! Need to get ready for tomorrow!! All is good tonight, and I am grateful!
