Entertaining

One of the major accomplishments of last weekend's getaway was entertaining friends. You know how it is after you move into a new place? You're eager to show the place off and invite people over. But, it takes awhile to get comfortable enough to do so.

We must be settling into the moose, because we took the big step and invited friends to join us for dinner after they arrived Friday night. It was a simple dinner of burgers and fixin's that was served much later than planned because Bay Area traffic set our friends back an hour or two. We welcomed them with housewarming cocktails and caught up on each other's latest developments. We shared stories and laughs over a tasty meal that lasted until a wee hour. It was great fun. Our friends returned the favor Saturday night by treating us to dinner at their place. Once again we had great fun, and all felt a bit better calling it a night at a more reasonable hour.

Much of our entertaining was outside. But, with cooler late night temps, we served dinner inside 'round our u-shaped dinette. It seated the four of us quite comfortably. Bullwinkle proved to be a perfect host. It was great fun to entertain friends in our home away from home.

We can't wait to do it again!
