Oysters and Champagne

Matt's friend Eric and his family had our family over for dinner and it was such a fun night.  Oysters, champagne and great company.  It turned out to be the swan song of our social interactions for awhile, and it was quite an evening, so very worthy of the distinction!

Election Day - tracking the progress from my new home office in the guest room.  I love my new office space next to the window, looking outside, in the calm and serene guest room.  Great idea that Matt had to move in there!
