Busy weekend of socializing at our place. On Saturday 'our friend Kelly' came over with her buddy Fiver and spent the night. We drove up to see Todd and Melissa's new home in Osceola, (it looks like a great house on a wonderful site).
Then we came home and snacked on goodies Kelly brought and the girls had martinis. After awhile we made Boca meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy and asparagus with a balsamic reduction. Homemade cupcakes for dessert! Oh, and Kelly brought some chocolate chip cookies that her mom made. They're on their way to being gone. Having Kelly over is always so relaxed and relaxing. During dinner we watched 49 Up, the last in the 'Up' series of documentaries (so far).
Sunday was our annual 'February Birthdays' event; we get together to celebrate Bob Gunn's, Christine's and my birthdays. There were eight of us including Michael and Diane. As usual between what people brought and what we made, we had an overabundance of food. A couple of highlights: Christine made a great fettuccini Alfredo and also brought the most decadent chocolate cake in the world. You can tell how happy it made her.
I scored some very cool birthday gifts, and also had a good time looking at photos of the Gunn's retirement home in Colorado. I think we're all in a little bit of denial that they're actually going.
Carrie and I rounded out Sunday evening watching an episode of The Office.
