I finished reading SharynMcCrumbs latest book, Nora Bonesteels Christmas Past, on our way to Burkes Garden yesterday for a Christmas party. I absolutely loved it. I needed something to get me in the holiday mood and it worked beautifully! The party was great fun, and I wish to publicly thank our amazing hosts for their splendiferous hospitality! Bethany D Rhudy and John B Rhudy truly know how to throw a soiree! I sampled venison, turkey, beef, bear, ham, and so much more! It was a meatatarian paradise! I did, however, leave questionable animal body parts alone for now. Maybe next time?!? ;-) I loved meeting friends of theirs whom Ive heard stories about for quite a while now. I heard some really tall tales, met legends of the Garden and beyond, and scooped ice into cups like a pro! (Hey, making yourself indispensable at a party is hopefully a great way to get invited back!) And I didnt even try to take my gifts home with me when we left! Lol!!! And those of you who know my passion for genealogy will not be surprised to know that I logged on to Ancestry to try to find my common ancestry with a fellow attendee. Sorry, John -- but knowing me, it had to happen that way! He was a Hash, for Petes sake! (It was probably going to be that or Duran Duran; I limited myself on the Duran - speak!) Many thanks to my dear hubby for driving us up and back last night and letting me be my social butterfly self. It felt good to be back out in the world. And today, Russ took me out for date day to see The Mockingjay. That song featuring Simon LeBon was not even listed in the credits, much less played in the movie. But we enjoyed the movie and each others company. All in all, a great weekend filled with great people, delicious food, and precious new memories that are destined to become retold stories. Even if there WASNT any Amish bread. ;-)
