Wonderful Evening with Special Friends

You know how you have a FEW special people in your life.....

we spent a wonderful evening with some Saturday evening.

Those who live in Northern Virginia know how GORGEOUS

the weather was this weekend.

Those two items combined made for a simply

WONDERFUL evening.

We first enjoyed sitting on the back patio..... sipping wine, eating homemade pizza, and enjoying getting caught up with each other. the guys ~

the girls ~

much laughter to be had ~

then came the "main course" ~ I tell you what....

this place is the BEST Italian restaurant in the whole area!!!!!!

Thanks Jim and Toni. You always amaze us!

Gretchen and Bob, Ellen and Joe, Jim and Toni,

and Alden and I

(we were missing a few other couples from this group.......

we missed you guys for sure!!!!!)

Ended the evening looking over blue prints of

Jim and Toni's "retirement" home.

Oh what a WONDERFUL evening ~

these friends are precious to our hearts.

We care about each other through and through,

and have so much fun together. Life long friends.
