(For Sunday July 20)
A friend and I threw a party for another friend today. It's so much work but it's a great work and fun because it blesses the heart of someone you care about. But my favorite part of the whole party was when everyone but the guest of honor, the co-host, myself, and another friend were there in the kitchen cleaning up and chatting...and drinking Sangria. :) Well, they were drinking it while I was washing dishes (I had to drive home, I was choosing to be responsible! *wink*). We were laughing and girl-talking, relaxed and thoroughly enjoying one another. Yes, we were being slightly inappropriate but we trust each other enough to know it all comes from a good heart. We were sharing tidbits of wisdom. Our conversation floated in and out of several topics and we jumped back into one without transition and the others would follow. Best time with my friends. I love the kitchen chatter times of parties the best. I feel like it is when the best kind of chatter and conversations happen! I've had the privilege to participate in hosting lots of parties and being in kitchens for clean up and chatter. A lot of times I am the quietest, working at clean up and listening in. I love listening to all the chit chat, to the laughter, to the jokes, etc. It is my most favorite part of a party (says the introvert and this shocks nobody). I'm so grateful for these times of kitchen chatter, they serve to remind of how many truly wonderful people I am honored to have in my life.
