Win-Win

Last evening we enjoyed a fine meal and fine fellowship in a beautiful home on one of our area's most pristine lakes.

.

This past summer we had attended an event at our Bible camp and bid on a meal for 6 in a silent auction. When we realized we were bidding against good friends, we agreed together to both bid our highest price point together as one bid and sharing the evening.

.

It was a win-win deal;

the Bible camp got needed funds from both couples

and we, along with another couple and the host couple, enjoyed a fabulous evening together!

Such a beautiful table was set before us!

The evening was to be "soup, bread and pie", however, the host and hostess made us some tasty appetizers first and then these popovers and salad as well!
(Does anyone remember the "popover girl" at the Patricia Murphy's restaurants in the east?)
.
Following the salad course, we had our choice of delicious soups:
potato corn chowder or meatball vegetable soup.
Both homemade and both wonderful.
And many of us had both!


Following the meal, the men had to catch a little bit of Twins baseball....

while the ladies cleared the table in preparation for the dessert course.

Our lovely hostess made us the most delicious apple pie.

Perfect for a fall evening!

The table was re-set for dessert with another beautiful set of dishes.

I love dishes ..

and the beautiful linens on our hostess' table added such a nice touch!

The evening had to finally come to an end;

though the home, surroundings and food was excellent,

it was the deep bond of fellowship and shared faith that gave the evening a

five star rating!

.
A good time was had by all.
