    I saw you on TV just now and boy would I love to be a better hostess. Funny years ago I did a prety good job. Now days I seem to forget what I should do first and get caught without a plan. I loved reading the blog that I read which told what you did the days before the party and the day of the party. I look forward to learning lots more from you.

  12. Patti says:

    Hi Wendy!

    Thanks so much for your kind words. Let me know what you would like to see me write about in particular and I would be happy to write a post on it! xooxxo, P

    Patti, I had the pleasure of meeting you at the beautiful Three Sisters Vineyards this weekend. Just had to check out your website and can’t wait to hear what you guys finally ‘cook’ up!

  14. Patti says:

    Jennifer, I am thrilled to have you as a reader, but not sure who you met this weekend. I was not at Three Sisters this weekend. Doppleganger, perhaps? P
