My wonderful weekend continued. I went to the early, traditional service at church by myself. It was a nice service. Came home and we went to Irvine Park for the day. We rode bikes and played on the grass in the sun and talked and just had a nice family day.
Tonight we had dinner with some friends. We made plans for dinner quite some time ago, and I hadn't thought about it much. Funny how things you really build up can be a let down and the things you don't think about can turn out to be magic. This was one of those nights for me, pure magic. The food was amazing, and we've all decided Craig should give cooking lessons. And then, the mix of people was really ideal. Lively intelligent banter. Smart, funny, interesting people. I found out more about them tonight that made my admiration grow ten-fold. Isn't it wonderful, after an evening spent with friends, to appreciate your friendship that much more? I wouldn't have changed a thing.
I gave one of the other guests a birthday gift of Food for Talk, (packaging design I did, but more importantly a fantastic product that I cannot recommend highly enough to anyone especially families). He pulled out one of the cards and the question was, "Describe your day using a color; what color was it and why." Everyone had such great answers and, again, what a wonderful way to learn more about people I was already so fond of. The thing that probably struck me the most, and it was on the way home: I spent these hours amidst and among great conversationalists, enjoyed lots of spontaneous laughter and experienced real fellowship.
What more could a girl ask for in a weekend?

I ditto your remarks, but of course I couldn't say it the way you do. I shared your comments with Craig. We most definately have to have this group together on a regular basis. We are good for each other.
