It may be winter here in NE but the fresh herbs were abundant at our home on Saturday as we hosted a great dinner party with friends. The plan is this is the first of many to come in 2009 – a New Years resolution that we could actually keep – to make new friends, get to know the friends we have and spend more surrounded by good people. I really need to put someone in charge of taking pictures. It is really had to serve dinner and take photos. A few pics I took before the dinner and manage to sneak a pic of the salad just before everyone sat down. Here is our men and here are some photos. Many thanks to Rich, Colleen, Jen, Philip, Michelle and Shannon for being our guests. We loved your company!!
