Good Friends, Good Food, Good Night

Last night we had dinner with a group of friends at one of the family's home in the mountains about 40 miles away. My wife is a chef in training. Really, she is going to school to become a chef. All the wives were in the kitchen preparing the meal. It sounded like they were having a good time and doing what they enjoyed. The men were in the living room talking. At the meal, the great conversation continued accompanied by excellent food. I remember thinking "this is great. I enjoy the way this feels." We must have talked about everything, movies, food, drink, church, family, travel and laughed alot! Shortly after dessert someone looked outside and discovered there was about 1 1/2 inches of snow on the ground. With the exception of our hosts, we are all flatlanders, so there was some concern about getting down off the hill. Gary (our host) climbed in his four-wheel drive car and went to survey the roads. He returned with a good report. We all came down the hill together and made it home safely.

It was an evening filled with good friends and good food. A great and enjoyable combination.
