Friends, family, neighbors and co-workers gathered for an afternoon meal with an international theme. Each guest was encouraged to bring an international dish to share. Long after our bellies were full, many of us gathered in intimate knots to laugh, gossip, and enjoy the fall weather.

The Girls :) – We were all enjoying the beautiful fall day when one of the party guests walked up to us and said “You all look like you should be in an advertisement, young and beautiful with a perfect life”. We certainly don’t have perfect lives but we did have a near perfect afternoon.

As dusk fell, guests migrated between watching football games in the den, munching on leftovers in the kitchen and playing a fierce game of Catch Phrase in the livingroom.
