No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

More company!!

Stephanie, Erica, me, and Jean. The chandelier cast a glow on my forehead and shows up in this photo taken with Justin's cell phone camera

Saturday I rested up from Friday's soirre and readied my house for another gathering. I made a kettle of chicken 'n dumplings to serve my guests, plus served my reheated sweet/sour meatballs to go with the main dish. For dessert we had lemon pound cake with raspberry sauce scooped over the top of it. 

As soon as Erica told me that her grandma, Jean, was coming down for a visit, I booked them for dinner. Jean just moved from a smaller town back to Janesville, where she used to live. Her hubby had died two years ago, just before ThanksLiving, in his sleep, so she wanted to downsize a bit. Jean will be here in the Jax area until some time in late January or early February, staying with Stephanie and Erica. I will get to see her then at Bible study on Thursdays!!

I very much enjoy their company and hope I get to share more of their time when I get back from WI. Maybe Justin and I will travel over there to join them for Trivia some Tuesday night....
