My last one was fancy and pretty, the social event of the season. I'm in the mood for something a little different tonight.
When I was a popular witness (before being a witness wore me down and my kids became teenagers and people starting judging us for being "liberal") we used to entertain a lot. I miss that.
I'm a very social creature. I love to feed people and promote an atmosphere of intimacy where good conversation flows. I love getting beyond the "chit-chat" and really finding out about someone.
So...let's pretend you are all at my home and my home is large enough to accomodate us all. Imagine that there's a large four sided fireplace in the center of my living room. On all four sides there are groupings of comfy club chairs and sofas so you can sit around and talk with different people with ease.
In the dinning room a bar is set up with a nice selction of wine and beer. The table is spread with a yummy buffet. Feel free to make yourself a plate and grab a drink and then find a buddy and settle down to enjoy your meal and some company.
Off the living room there is another room with a smaller fireplace where several tables have been set up for those who would like to play cards or other games.
A large screened in porch offers a place to sit for those who prefer the outdoors.
Feel free to meander about, getting to know everyone here. If you find someone you've been wanting to meet, linger a while and really ge to know them.
How is the food, can I get you anything else? Are you comfortable? Who are you talking to? Is there anyone here you are surprised to see or is anyone missing?
Enjoy,
