………………….After a few hours of trying on samples..,,,….and having a great time reminiscing about who wore what on my QVC shows….we needed a BREAK……I prepared a big salad of Butternut lettuce, white mushrooms, mixed cherry tomatoes, walnuts, Kamala olives, gorgonzola crumbled cheese, and a special dressing I made with olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard………….We had a fourth guest…..a tiny little mouse showed up……..Honestly, I haven’t seen a mouse anywhere near my house in years…..so as long as he or she stays outside…..it was actually cute…….After lunch there is always time for a selfie………..and then back upstairs to finish going through the samples…….We stopped at about 4:30 to get ready for our HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES!!!…..to be con’t

……….Our visit con’t………It was dinner time!…..Chantal and Angela were toiling in the kitchen…..Chantal had already prepared chicken that was marinating for 24 hours in white wine, olive oil, lemon, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaf and sage…..She also brought a huge zip lock bag of all kinds of root vegetables…….Angela brought cauliflower with three cheeses. Chantal and I added a drizzle of honey to the already coated in olive oil , salt and pepper root vegetables….and it all went into the oven for an hour  and a few minutes…….IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!…..After dinner we all settled in the gathering room for DESSERT!!!!…..I brought out my PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE with fresh WHIPPED CREAM infused with CINNAMON…………..OMG it was fabulous…..we were ALL IN AGREEMENT!……We talked…..we laughed, and we listened to wonderful music…….I gifted them each with a CD of “Luke Kennedy” which we were listening to….followed by “Sade” also a CD I am gifting to them…….We had a lot planned for Halloween, so we decided we had better go to sleep so we would be well rested for the next day……
