Wow, does time fly these days!!
I think the last time I posted, I was getting ready for the Exercise Class to come to brunch. That was May 30th. Twenty-nine members of the class and two guests were here, and the brunch was FABULOUS!!
I can’t list all the dishes. I’m still not sure what two or three of them were, but it was just like going to a church potluck. We served an egg-sour cream-sausage-cheese casserole, a baked French toast casserole, and a spiral sliced ham. Our guests brought chips and dip, mini bagels and cream cheese, German potato salad, Hawaiian salad, bow tie pasta with artichokes, black olives, grape tomatoes and a tiny bit of cheese, fruit salad, fruit pizza, meatballs, a plantation cake, and baked pineapple with a tiny bit of cheddar cheese over the top that was to-die-for! Of course, the desserts were endless. There was German Chocolate Cake, a rhubarb crumble, banana cream pie and ten other things I didn’t get to try!
It was just a little drizzly, but not wet enough to keep anyone from participating. I set three tables, for a total of 30, and when one last person straggled in, we just made room for her! The house was abuzz with the sound of happy people chatting with each other, and I had a great time! I love it when these friends come to visit.
I was the last to sit down to eat, and when I picked up my plate to take it to the kitchen, I discovered that my friends were washing the dishes. They not only washed and dried and put away the china, but they got the glasses, the silverware and the serving pieces, too! You can’t possibly have better friends than that! There was very little left to do by the time they’d left.
I’m delighted that the iris were at their peak and the gardens were glorious. Dear Husband had mowed the lawn a few days before, and I’d used the weed eater, so everything looked tidy and neat.
This was definitely a “good time was had by all” occasion, and I hope we do it again and again!
