Fun Times

My living room right now (clean & quiet)...


...and my living room an hour ago.

Note the piles of dishes and such on the table. All gone now. (No, not cleaned yet...but scraped, stacked neatly and in the kitchen waiting to be washed tomorrow. I may be obsessive/compulsive, but I'm also dead tired and don't really care if the dishes are clean before I go to bed tonight.)

I finally took the plunge and invited all of the young adults over this evening. I cooked mici (pronounced "meech"; it's something like spicy grilled sausage and traditionally eaten with mustard) and my favorite rosemary-garlic roasted potatoes. I also made Lemon Chiffon Dessert Squares - another favorite that I rarely make (a Pampered Chef recipe). Yum, yum!

I love having people in my home...need to do it more often! Beyond dinner, I really had no plan. I intended to rent a movie, but just didn't have time to get to the store. But it all worked out fine...the basket of kid stuff in the living room kept everyone entertained. What more could you want than fairy tale books & a puzzle? I have crayons in the basket, too, but no coloring book right now; what's wrong with me?

Dina had collected all of our pictures from the retreat a couple of weeks ago & put them on a CD, so we stuck that in my DVD player and watched all of the pictures S...L...O...W...L...Y flash up on the screen.

Fun times!
