2020, Day Three
2019, you flew by at record pace!
It all happened so fast~how on earth? Ready or not here we are!
We welcomed the new year in with some great friends right here at the Old Charlton Place.
The plan was a driveway dance (no takers except St. P and me🎔),
a cozy fire, good food and great fun; all within safe driving distance for our guests!
We had a blast...
other than the game "Who am I" where everyone writes a character name on a sticky
note then places it on the forehead of another,
taking turns asking questions and trying to guess who they are!
Some smarty pants wrote Belinda Abbott-Shaw
and the antics ensued...all in good fun, RIGHT!
Oh well, I can handle it. As a middle child my loving brother and sister
had me convinced I was adopted from a very young age!!
Anyone else have siblings like that? God love em.
So other than an few gray/thin haired pyro experts competing to see who could get the fire roaring the best, the night was the perfect way to usher in the New Year!
Did I say good food...of course! Everyone brought some great appetizers!!
On the house menu,
(recipes requested so thought I'd share)
I tried my hand at
Garden & Gun's featured Hoppin' John (with a bit of improv of course)
I also made one of our winter favorites
I got my original recipe from Moveovermartha (Robin)
But borrowed this from Pinterest~DeepSouthDish
It's the easiest and yummy!
I also made this...but didn't even get it out with all the other goodies!
(and since Coxey's Army did not show up :))
Sinfully delicious...
And so it was a happy happy New Year's celebration!
Praying for you all a 2020 full of blessings in slow motion....
I wish you peace and grace upon grace!
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Isaiah 52:7
Most sincerely and in God's gracious care, B
