AFTERNOON IN THE
COUNTRY
I told you I would send pictures of Serenbe’s great food event Afternoon in the Country! It was
fantastic! A live band was playing. There was a silent auction going on,
including wonderful vacations, special dinners for several people at some of
the restaurants that participated in the event…anyone can write their bid for
an event, and at 3:30, the bidding stopped. The person who had the highest bid
for any item would get that item for that price. Peter and I lost the bid on
about 5 items, but we won the bid for about 5 more. We decided that it was a
great time to shop for Christmas!!!
The foods at Afternoon in the County were diverse, and all
were extremely creative and delicious…octopus, stews, soups, appetizers,
cheeses, ice creams, all sorts of desserts, all sorts of meats, drinks and so
forth through 100 restaurants! We were stuffed by the time it was over, even
though each plate from a vendor was very small. There was a fixed price for the
whole event, so you could try every chef’s creation if you wanted to. We found
Mallory from Sweet Grass Dairy, whom we had met at the Atlanta Cheese Festival,
and she gave us some of their wonderful cheese to take home to our hosts the
Masseys. That was amazing cheese, and it was great to see Mallory again.
I’m sure we will return to Serenbe for this event again next
year. It just seems better and better each year! I considered it the beginning
of my birthday celebration!

Reunion
Yesterday, I had another fantastic experience. While Peter
was home playing host to the MOVERS who were bringing our stuff to our new
townhome in Decatur (3 cheers for the MOVERS AND PETER), I met 10 of my high
school friends to attend the Cobb Energy Center’s Rockette’s Christmas! It was
unbelievable! We could not believe the talent up on that stage. Someone said
that the group practiced 6-8 hours a day for the last 3 weeks before a show!
Wow! You could tell! They were like watching one person perform.! WOW!
This group of friends gets together a few times each year,
and we always have such a great time. It was so good to see all of you!
Ciao!
