Another milestone

Here I am with my beautiful bride.

Bob and Angela live just four blocks from us.

Chuck is the discussion leader for our Life Group.

This evening we marked another milestone in our transition to life in Dallas and our new home. Up until today, our only dinner guests had been family. We had 9 guests for a potluck dinner this evening. The group is our Life Group from church. Unfortunately, there were several who were unable to attend. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time.

The menu included glazed ham, tossed salad, a layered salad with nuts and berries, a wonderful dish that was reminiscent of scalloped potatoes but included French fried onions, some delicious Chinese-style stir-fried green beans, a fruit salad, dinner rolls, and pumpkin cheesecake pie. Beverages included ice water, coffee and hot spiced cider. There was no lack of things to eat, and no one went hungry.

We had some lovely conversation, before, during and after dinner. It was fun to show off the house we have been telling the group about for the last three months.

As has been our usual experience when entertaining, we had the house cleaned up and back in order before all of the guests had made it home. I don't know about our guests, but Jill and I had a marvelous time.
