We were delighted to get to share part of the weekend with dear friends. Keith, Gwen, and Sarah are on their way to see their son/brother, his wife, and their new sweet baby out west! At the last minute, we asked if they could stop in. (It is rather difficult to make long term plans since I'm not sure if I'll have energy or not.) They were able to rearrange their schedule and come not only for our cook out, but also stay over night. It was Such a delight to share the night with them and two of John's sisters: Sharon and Anna. Sharon and Anna arrived early to help with last minute things (Sharon even did my dishes being the generous woman that she is!) We had such a fun and delightful evening! I took Very Few pictures so you'll just have to stop by to experience the fun. We can't wait to have more company! :-)
John delighted us by giving us a ride in the wagon at the back of this old blue tractor. There are tons of paths around here, and it was such fun to ride through the fields and forest to get to our cookout spot. (Really wish I would have gotten a picture of all us riding through the green fields!)
I had so much fun arranging the table with a denim blanket, fresh picked Queen Ann's Lace (John picked the exact amount I had in mind!) candles and tea lights. It was so nice to be in the middle of the forest! Despite how much rain we've had, John was able to get a fire started and we all had stumps to sit on around the fire. My little red mp3 player/cell phone, did a great job providing atmosphere music!
Here is Sarah, Anna, and Sharon getting some Delicious food! We had quite the feast with fresh garden potato salad (made with sour cream, chives, and parsley), garden corn, marinated venison, and a yummy potato dish that Sharon made! We had mint tea, lemonade, and water to drink. After dinner, we roasted marshmallows and talked late into the night. Ahh bliss :-)
That was fun!! :-D
