Wednesday ended up being a chock-full day full of spending time with small groups old and new. I went over to Mary's for lunch and she certainly is the hostess with the mostess. We had the most delicious pumpkin soup and little baguette sandwiches with pesto, cheese and ham. She had the sweetest little tea set for dessert along with yummy carrot cake. I strive to be like her in so many ways. We got a chance to catch up, share stories about being CORE group leaders (now that I am one :) ), and enjoy the beautiful view. She even showed me an invitation to the 90th birthday party of PRINCE MICHAEL OF ROMANIA. How cool is that? She said I could have it when they didn't want it anyway.... I can't wait!
That night, my girls came over for dinner. I made my turkey parmesan garlic burgers with ciabatta loaves, a big salad with pear, apple and grapes, and oven-baked fries which were interested but turned out OK. I also had applesauce brownies and ice cream for dessert. The girls ended up staying until nearly 11:00- we talked and laughed about everything under the sun, from Benedict Cumberbatch, David Tennant and Catherine Tate, to Santa in the fireplace, baking various desserts, Taylor the Latte Boy, NeedtoBreathe, other Christian artists, and let's just say that there was quite a lot of laughter. They helped me clean up and they also make me some super-cute homemade coasters. I adore these girls (and Victoria who wasn't able to make it) and I can't wait to continue to get to know them better!
