Starting over involves a lot of things.  Changing address, drivers license, car tags, just to name a few.  When I decided to move, I chose to get a few new things to make starting over a little fun.  One if the new things I bought was a new set of everyday dishes.  They are quirky and fun…..and just service for four.  Last night, I had my first dinner party in my new home.  Turned out to be eight people.  I brought my china, fully intending on using it when I entertain, but I left my home in Roswell staged to get ready to be put on the market, so six place settings were in my dining room back in Georgia.  So I mixed my everyday dishes with china, no biggy.  I had to use three different styles of placemats, too.  And different glasses.  Now for seating.  My dining table seats two.  Two bar stools at the bar.  Three seats on the sofa.  Ok, there’s one chair in the living room, too, so there’s eight.  Even though it looked very hodge podge, everyone was quite understanding and it turned out fine.  Plus, I cooked my world-class lasagna =) and my friend, Vicki, made her world-class chocolate cake so everyone was happy!

Today, I went to church with my friends, Jeff and Vicki, again and went to the class that Jeff was teaching again.  I seriously thought about standing up at the end and ask, “does anyone have a pacemaker in this room?” (There’s bound to be at least one in that crowd!).  After I found the individual/individuals, I would ask “just how loud does it beep when it runs out of battery???”  Maybe next week!

As a side note, during the worship service, I looked over and saw a guy sitting across the aisle who looked very familiar.  Then I remembered….he was the first guy I ever wrote to on Christian Mingle, a dating website.  Small world……
