Good Morning, Darlings!

It is a very rainy day here in Atlanta. I understand there will be snow up north. But here, not so much.

But it has been cold! I thought some soup was in order.  Miss Diane was sweet to pick up a gift for us and swing it by, so I thought she should have dinner with us.  She called me mid-afternoon to let me know that her beau Jonathan would be flying in from assignment in Columbus, Ohio early evening.  How exciting!  We would finally meet her mystery man.  Jonathan is a well-respected videographer and we couldn’t wait for him to join us.

And to add to the mix, we invited Crystal and Teague to join us.  I love a party!

Dinner was very simple.  Vegetable and meatball soup, dinner rolls and homemade peach cobbler made with peaches Crystal canned this summer. Yum! Oh, and wine – we have a ton left over from the party. I hate for it to go to waste. 🙂

As for the evening?  It was made fabulously sophisticated by the presence of our new friend and dinner guest.  Full of tales from the frontlines of what we only see on television, we listened intently to Jonathan’s stories.  I have to say, my husband and friends are much more in tune with politics and current events than I am (although I set a mean table!), that I pretty much sat back and enjoyed the conversation.  Not only was Jonathan interesting, he was genuinely delightful.  A great combo.  And we feel like he has hit the jackpot with Miss Diane (she’s such a catch!) They are so cute together.

So, without further adieu, here are some shots from our cozy little dinner last night.

And on top of all this fun, Teague, who is our neighborhood association President, has asked me to sign on as the official Social Director of Adair Park! I am so excited and flattered! I will be planning events for the neighborhood, all the while learning about permitting and all that goes into a public event.  I can’t wait to take on the challenge!

Keep warm and dry, my Darlings.

xoxo, Patti
