International Dinner

The very first Sunday we lived in Maryland, six summers ago, the Martines family invited us for dinner.  Chelsea and Hannah became fast friends.

Shortly there after they came up with the "international dinner" plan.  They wanted to cook dinner all by themselves for our families.  They did such an awesome job.  We did it every month for awhile, then every now and then.  It's been fun and tasty every time.

Tonight we had what will probably be the last "international dinner".  They chose to make soul food and did the whole thing by themselves.  Ellie has graduated to be a cook too :)

After dinner we decided to take a walk, to help us digest our food, before dessert.  We grabbed the Streeters, who had been over helping to cook but didn't have dinner here, and happened upon Michelle talking a walk with her girls. We all strolled the neighborhood together in a cheerful parade.


Hannah called it our little pioneer trek.


Then we came home and sat around the on the back deck visiting until 11pm.  The teens went next door to watch a movie, the kids ran amok, and the grown ups talked and talked.  We watched the fireflies and the stars and pretty much didn't want the night to end.
