yummy food and good friends - the best kind of evening!

I am slowly working through the pictures on my camera. . . I told someone yesterday that I don't think anyone really cares what is going on in our day to day lives but for some reason, I need to document . . .because I might forget. I would never want to forget how incredibly blessed we are. Our friends are one of our greatest blessings. Our supper club got together last Friday night and we had so much fun. We had hoped to all be together (there are six couples) but Dave's mom was sick and Dave and Kim both had to fly to Florida and I'm so glad they went because his mom died on Sunday. Our group has been through so much together.

Phella was in charge of appetizers and she made these incredible miniature cheese balls. One was feta cheese. One was Gorgonzola. I can't remember what the other one was. They were yummy!!

Here is a cute picture of Mark and Laura and Phella.

When I was a kid, I always hoped to be a part of a group like this. Of course, I didn't know about supper clubs or even entertaining. Our family didn't do that kind of stuff. I never remember having anyone over to eat at our house except extended family members. I remember going out of town with my friend, Karen and spending the night at her cousin's house and they were having a party. I was probably 12 or 13 years old at the time. I remember thinking - I want to have fun like that!

Ok - totally different subject. I have received several emails lately asking me about doing give-aways and advertising on my blog. If anyone who reads this has any advice, I would love to hear from you. Is it a good thing? Pros and Cons?
