A wonderful weekend began with a lovely tea to welcome lots of friends to a charming country home. Everyone pitched in chopping vegetables and preparing dinner together giving us time to solidify new friendships while we worked. Papa was welcoming and hospitable, he participated in the entire weekend’s festivities. Dinner brought on lively discussion. After dinner we retired to the media room where a pastor friend shared great insights on how to build better relationships. The following morning we all worked together to create a royal brunch buffet spread. There was a stroll in the countryside, and lots of time to hang out unwinding.
