Keepers by the Sea Over Niter....

Hello my dears.. 

How are you all doing?

Friday night we did indeed have our Keepers by the Sea Over Niter.. 

Several could not make it but we still had a great time although I must say that they were truly missed ... 

They all arrived around 6:30 pm... 

When they arrived the spaghetti sauce was simmering away.. 

The napkins had been brought out and ready for the girls to set the table..

I was disappointed that I was not able to do the things that I had planned ... 

My back decided to act up and I could hardly get around for a few days but thank the Lord it did not prevent us from getting together..

Brother...

 I am beginning to think that Terry should start finding a nice field somewhere with a gate for me... 

Or perhaps I should just close my window at nights and not let the wind and rain blow in on me when I know that old Arthur is just waiting for a chance to show up... grin...

Anyway... on with the story..

The girls were so kind and helped put together the Caesar Salad and we get the food ready in a buffet style..

We  had pasta with tomato or a new creamy basil sauce and a lentils meatloaf which they all liked..

It was a new recipe and it was a risk but having no oven and only two burners kind of taxed my imagination... smile..

There were also lovely baguettes and garlic dipping oil.. yum... 

Afterwards the dear girls generously cleaned everything up...

Terry was working away so Sammi was present.. 

A bit confused with so many ladies... 

Actually, he was a big pain.. grin... 

Then later it was dessert time... 

Some of them really enjoyed it... grin.. 

Some lovely fellowship and at 1 am this old gal tried to make it up the stairs to bed while the rest stayed up until 4:30 am..

Yup... that is late... smile.. 

They were up and about at a good time though and after chatting with our coffees for a bit we headed out to Fiories for breakfast...  

Charlene took these pics and I swiped a couple from her.. smile.. 

Later after shopping over at the House of Henry they all headed back home to their dear families... 

The Balloon Fiesta was going on in Sussex, too.. 

This lovely picture was taken by Char....

Thank you, dear... 

As for Sammi and I... 

We SAT and tried to get our backs back on track and wait for our sweetie to get home.. 

He had been gone most of the week.... 

Then to church the next day.. 

I will chat with you all later and tell you about a little field trip Terry and I took on Monday.. 

Here is the recipe link for the Lentils Meatloaf....

Just click HERE....

I did not add the oatmeal but replaced it with 2 slices of bread made  into crumbs and soaked with a 1/4 cup of milk.. 

And I cooked it in my slow cooker.. 

Looking it up on the web I found a great idea on how to remove it much easier  with foil handles.. 

Look in the directions HERE..

Well ladies.. 

Hope you all have an awesome evening.. 

Sorry, I did not have a chance to answer your comments last time but hope to do better this posting..

Glad to have you..

Love and Prayers...
