Last Thursday I had several friends over to say goodbye to David Creel, Marissa Lodgson, and Hozumi Redd. All three are leaving island in mid October and I wanted to have a farewell dinner for them and some other friends before they left. My aim was to keep things simple. Since it is Fall back home, I wanted to have homemade vegetable soup and fresh baked bread from Ebisuya. For dessert I served orange cake with cream cheese icing. That's it...real simple. I also wanted this evening to be a time of relaxing with friends, having good fellowship with one another, and singing praise songs to God. All three were accomplished. It was a nice evening and I hope my guests of honor will have a sweet memory to take home with them. Unfortunately, Hozumi couldn't make it because she had another dinner engagement that night, but we prayed for her anyway. Something that I like to do with my guests is to have them draw me a picture and add to my sketch book. The artwork is fun and usually has a story behind it. The guests enjoy looking over what others have done before them. And, it gives me some nice memories as well as artwork.
