Good Times With New Friends
A couple months ago Mary mentioned that she and some friends were going to be in Port Angeles this weekend, and that we were invited to join them for a dinner party of sorts.
We arranged cat-sitting last night (I really don't want to contemplate having a diabetic cat without neighbors as amazing as Dave and Marcia) and left early, top down, to for the drive - figuring we'd stop at a few wineries on the way.
The weather was great and the drive is beautiful - we stopped at Olympic Cellars, Black Diamond Winery and even managed to find Harbinger before letting the GPS guide us to the Devlin's home - nestled on 20 acres in Port Angeles.
We met Mary's friend Helen and re-met Adam, and got to know our hosts - Patty and Michael - who were gracious and welcoming. This is one of the very few times times I've ever walked into a new place and felt instantly at ease.
We chatted over appetizers and wine (and more wine, and then some wine), made and ate a very nice dinner, and spent the rest of the evening playing games (provided, of course, by Dawnise).
We had a great time and were definitely sorry to leave but with a 90 minute drive home, we really did have to get going and finally hit the road around 11:30.
Being invited - and included - was was really excellent.
