This month you went all out; you were the very definition of a gracious and organized host. You showered guests with snacks as they waited for their meal, refilled their glasses with inventive cocktails, and made sure that there was cake -- lots of cake.
Overnight guests were met with bright eggs, warm biscuits, savory spreads, and -- you couldn't help yourself -- even more cake. At a point, you worried they might move in. It's a testament to your hospitality, warmth, and talent in the kitchen. We think we'll stop by, too, if you'll have us.
