A couple of months ago we had guests for dinner. Yes, a scheduled dinner for invited guests. The guests were the people Doug works with. So that meant I needed to get the house cleaned up (a group tour would be on the agenda) and get the menu planned.
The menu. Now that was going to be a problem. Baj and Sumitra, his wife, are vegetarians. And John hates mexican food. That is two strikes right there. But I settled on spaghetti - a meatless variety and one with meat included. Everything seemed to go alright. It was pretty nice to see the whole group together again. We took a couple of pictures to document the gathering.
Each couple that came brought with them a "house warming" gift. It was very nice of them. I loved each gift! The Farmers brought a delicious box of chocolates - labeled so we knew what we were getting. The Agrawals brought really pretty pillow covers for throw pillows and a nice painting from Nepal or thereabout. And the Demkos had a gift basket with non-alcoholic cherry bubbly, cherry preserves, some cookies, scented candle, knitted wash cloth, etc.
Anyway the night was a success and the friendships renewed.
How could it have gone any better?
