I love all you beautiful stemware. It always captures my attention on your tables.<br/><br/>Love that it snow during your April Fools dinner party! That will be a wonderful memory.<br/><br/>I made a memory on the 31st my guest won't forget; a melted ice-cream cake that I literally had to slop on their plates. But everyone said it tasted so good. LOL<br/><br/>Picture on blog :] okay random comment here…

I think this every time I see one of your table settings,” What beautiful glassware.”

Love that it snow during your April Fools dinner party! That will be a wonderful memory.

I made a memory on the 31st my guest won’t forget; a melted ice-cream cake that I literally had to slop on their plates. But everyone said it tasted so good. LOL

I really appreciate the comment about the ambiance being more important than the meal. I agree that those April Fool's meals are very complicated, so I never end up doing them either. Next year I'm going to make a point to make a memory by "setting the mood." Thanks for sharing this, Sandy. I really appreciate the comment about the ambiance being more important than the meal.

I have one very memorable dinner. It was New Year's Eve and on a whim we invited our neighbors over for a picnic in the middle of the pasture. The meal consisted of all the holiday food and desserts that were left overs and champagne. It was freezing cold but sunny and we had the best time laughing and just telling stories.

I reread your response on my blog and wanted to add something. I TOTALLY agree that the marriage is a good place to start. I am so thankful and blessed that my husband and I share the journey towards Papa's heart together. It would be SO lonely without him. I know it is not common for many to share so deeply with their spouse, unfortunately, so I do not want to ever take it for granted what we have in our marriage.<br/><br/> Now one more thing. How do you come up with the fun ideas that you have for entertaining? I know that Papa has gifted both my husband and I with hospitality...and maybe He wants us to start things out here in our new town....but ideas...well they don't come as naturally to me. I need divine inspiration.<br/><br/> I love the porch idea...that was awesome. I just get so stuck with who to invite and where to start since we don't really have what I would consider close friends.<br/><br/> Any ideas???<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/>Julie Sandy,

Any ideas???

We moved to this location a year ago and just don’t know what God is doing with us here in the relationship area….but we are starting to look at how He wants to use us to start something….
