My Fantasy New Year's Dinner Party



When people are asked  "Who would you most like to invite to a dinner party?" they typically answer that they'd enjoy the company and conversation of famous figures from history or politics or entertainment.  I guess I might, too. I know I'd enjoy an evening enjoying the company of people like Ruth Reichl or Anthony Hopkins or Sean Connery or Helen Mirren.

But  since I've been blogging, my little world has opened up to a great  big one that I've learned is full of very interesting, creative and talented people with whom I have a lot in common!   So were I asked that question today I know that I'd answer that I'd like to sit down with my blogging friends and those people who come to visit and read and comment on my blog.  What a party I think that would be!

So on this New Year's Day, I want to wish everyone who visits here a very happy new year, full of health, happiness, prosperity and most of all good food and good company.  And if we were all sitting around this table, I'd tell you so in person.  Let's just imagine it.  It would be wonderful!

Best wishes for a happy new year.  May you get all you wish for.

  3. I echo that - I often think if I come into those untold-unknown millions - I'd be traveling - breaking bread with all I've met in cybersphere. Happy New Year! The opening photo just welcomed the year in!

  9. It doesn't have to be a "fantasy" table...it could very well be a reality! Just needs planning, and inviting people that we care about, and love...the rest will take care of itself!
    Happy New Year, dear Rosemary!
