Dinner With Friends

Last evening we had the pleasure of having the hubby's high school friends over for supper.  The night before I spent prepping (which I loved!!) and prepared cucumber salad, potato salad, jello-vanilla strawberry pie (yummy!!), corn on the cob, and a chicken marinade.  It was one of my first experiences preparing a meal for 6+ people all alone.  I shouldn't say alone, though, one of the friends brought salsa, chips, mixed berries and some hamburger to contribute.  We had a great meal!  We started off the evening with a pool party while the hubby grilled.  Then enjoyed the meal on the picnic table.  After, we headed inside to some much needed AC and had dessert.  It was so wonderful to get the 'gang' all together again.  One couple is heading to Tennessee for schooling so it'll be while before we see them again.  Our other friends live just north of the TC so we are lucky we get to see them more often, but we always enjoy time we get to spend together.
