Gather at the Table

Beautiful weekend that had us gathering at the table. This focus leads to promoting future community meals uniting us as community:
-Mannechor Spaghetti Dinner- we'll go this week early, as I have to get back to town for the play at Denison at 8 pm.
-Fish Frys at St. Eds.  Lent starts this week, the first is always the one with the long lines, we'll wait, with a beverage.   And now back to the weekend!!

First- Caroline's Confirmation.  Always wonderful to celebrate a loved one's faith.  A weekend filled with hard conversations but we celebrate the good- the faith, the love and commitment to God.  We're our own people with our own convictions. The table allows us to talk, share and be together.  My sister in law pulled together an amazing brunch after the service with dear friends and we're lucky to have family close to make it easy to share these important times.

Second- Dinner Club is back and deserves to be documented for the history books.  The Parson hosted us in their new home- a busy day with family celebrations- plural- they could of said nope, doesn't work- them embraced and welcomed us. The the theme Mardi Gras!  Take a look at each course, the beautiful presentations, colors that executed the theme so well.  Lots of special treats in the evening, laughter and catch-up- so good to be together at the table.

Third was family dinner Friday night at the Broadway Pub.  We toasted Clare's basketball career closing - it started when she was in 1st grade. We're proud of her commitment and valued amazing girls and families to share the time in the stands and on the court.

Life on Newark-Granville Road loves to gather at the table, break bread and share the community of family and friends.

Crawfish Dip- Ann!

Italian New Orleans Salad- Susan

Jambalaya- Angela

CAn't even describe this homemade deliciousness- chocolate mouse, whipped cream, bourbon soaked (blantons!!) rasberries in the most incredible praline basket!! Christina- oh and the fleur de le lis chocolate on top!
