Date Night at the Arboretum

The Arboretum is having outdoor concerts on Tuesday and Thursday evenings this year.  The walk through some of the gardens to get to the concert area is just beautiful.  The setting for the concert is very nice as well.  The back drop is White Rock Lake and the setting of the sun. 

Hal and I have been on a search for low rider chairs to take to outdoor events.  After a few weeks of searching we found what we think are just perfect.  Petty Thief, tribute Tom Petty band, was playing last night.  We really enjoyed ourselves because we knew most of the songs and could sing along.  We had our chairs, wine, cheese and subway sandwiches.  We were set for the evening.  Look forward to our next date....

CCPC Friendship Club

There is a group of people that get together throughout the year for fellowship and to support our church in various mission outreaches.  This is outside of our Small Group and Sunday School class.  It's a delightful group of people.  One of our annual events is "He Cooks She Eats".  Sara and Tom have graciously hosted this event each year and it has become a very popular evening with the women.  Tom is a hunter and provides us with dove and then they are stuffed with jalapenos and bacon wrapped as well as some very hot sausage....yum!  And that is just for the appetizers.  For our main entry, he smokes brisket and chicken.  The other host for the evening bring the side dishes.  There is more food than you can imagine.

The ladies are inside enjoying the cool AC.

YUM....

The guys are outside enjoying I don't know what????  It was kinda warm that evening.

Tom and Sara had purchased this tent cover.  It was pretty comical to watch all the men either helping to dismantle it or supervise it being done.
