Last Friday evening my friends, Matt and Mel, came over for dinner. They won’t be able to attend our house warming party next weekend because they’ll be out of town so Shari and I knew we had to have them over sooner rather than later. Mel surprised us with a water color piece she did … More 4-13-23

Oh boy, last weekend drained me. In a good way, thankfully, but it still drained me. I hosted an Our Flag Means Death (OFMD) dinner party Sunday evening. It was an absolute blast. But as all people who have planned parties know, the planning and prepping can take quite a long time. Happily, I really … More 5-26-22 Dinner Party and Other Things
