Really? Christmas Eve is a week from today? It can't be---I'm not ready yet, and in fact, I might never be. But the important event has happened, the annual BVG Christmas dinner party at my house. It was Monday night. I worked so hard decorating the house and cooking up a tasty dinner, but wait, no pictures? Really? Then as far as this blog is concerned, it never happened!
It happened, it was wonderful. We dined on Smoked Salmon Caesar Salad, Chicken Picante, Brown Rice with the Picante Sauce, Roasted Asparagus with Garlic and Roasted Butternut Squash with nutmeg, plus desserts made of either pumpkin or Rice Chex. It was a great dinner if I do say so myself. It's just always so fun to get together with the Sisters, but it is especially nice in the midst of the extra busy times leading up to Christmas. We all needed a night to chill and pretend, if only for one evening, that we didn't have a care in this world. We had our gift exchange, and the BVB's, who had been out to dinner, joined us for the dessert. We sat in our own rooms, BVG's in the living room, BVB's in the family room. We savored each moment for our visiting. We love us!
Two things I won't to add here, for no particular reason other than the fact that I have carried these four quotes around on a piece of paper in my purse. I wrote them down many months ago. So here goes: "If you don't like the food, drink more of the wine," and "How merlot can you go?" Then, "My mind is drawing a blanc." And finally, "Give us this day our daily red." Then Elletu happened to share this with us the other night: "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. When the white's gone, I'll switch to red."
Merry Christmas, Readers.
