Had to smile at their caption, above. No cooking for me at a party, instead, choosing stewardship of guests & self. Aka, having a great time. In addition, choosing stewardship of cleaning/dishes after a party, I don't want guests cleaning, am wildly selfish wanting play time with them. Cleaning after guests leave, using the time to give thanks, enjoying thoughts of party conversations. Cleaning as a focused form of stewardship.

Friend, client, mentor, Mary Kistner had the best lunches, often for just the 2 of us. Always a well thought out menu, plates/glasses, floral arrangement, music, and a neighbor hired to serve, clear, clean. Time with Mary was always sparking. Our Muse's in fabulous dance.

Sublime color trinity, above, blues/grays/whites with subsidiary oxblood. More great advice in a caption, above, but won't be using cut branches from our field, our guys saw a 3" diameter copper head snake last Friday.
