So, I asked my roommate Ben if he and his girlfriend and her roommate would like to all have dinner.  They amicably said yes.  So I did my best…

Portabello Grilled Cheese Dippers, Homemade Tomato Soup, and a starter Caprese Salad (alternated layers of different colored tomatoes, basil, and sliced mozzarella cheese for those who don’t know).  And good wine of course.

Good dinner and good conversation.

Backing that up, I got to hang with some of my favorite people over the last two nights, but the last night was the best.  Michael & Luci’s homemade pizza and….NERTZ!  Yes, I love this game and up to this point did not know any of my friends who played in Houston.  But these wonderful people do and are good at it.  So we played around 25 hands of Nertz, which was fantastic and fabulous and loads of fun trying to play solitaire faster than your friends.  Between that and Friday night’s foodfest and a good service at church, it is a great weekend.

And now I can attempt to become the greatest Nertz player ever…well, not exactly- those Bells can play.  And so can Caleb too?  Exciting!

Anyway, it is a good weekend.  Very refreshing and very needed after a long month and change since I got back from California.
