A busy day

Company coming! Spent the day grocery shopping and assembling dishes to put in the oven later. Had decided we would have snack-type food rather than a sit-down dinner. They are fun, but lots of work too. Special neighbors, so wanted it to be special.

Julie's homemade guacamole with tortilla strips.
Cheesy bean dip.
Baked cheese squares with chilies.
Shrimp Quesadillas with poblano peppers and chihuahua cheese.
Mexican chicken wings.
Fresh pineapple, strawberries and grapes.
Homemade Samoas with coconut ice cream.


The weather was beautiful yesterday, and we were able to sit outside and eat on the deck. "Henri" was very excited to have company and behaved quite well. "Timber" is always good. It was a very enjoyable time! Now, lots to catch up with today. A collage piece needs to be done by the end of next week for an exhibit at Orland Park Library! Morning pages, class stuff and tomorrow is "Mary Poppins"!
