Tonight we held a birthday party for a friend. There were 8 people here. The birthday feast included shepherd's pie, creamed acorn squash, chili, a strawberry jello salad, cottage cheese, and a dark chocolate cake with white icing. We also played a few games and other activities, although we didn't have a great deal of time since this was a school/work night for several people.
Much to our surprise and delight, several folks had banded together to acquire and transport a pickup truck full of firewood for us, most of it already in convenient stove-size pieces. Woohoo! After supper, we all put on our coats and trooped outside to unload the firewood, which only took a few minutes with so many people helping. ^_^ I love it when community works!
I'll post the recipe for the acorn squash shortly.

I'm feeling that way about my upcoming move; I asked and people responded in droves. I'm very, very fortunate in my Family of Choice.
