The table in the dining room was filled with food as we waited for our guests to arrive.
A chocolate chip cake and chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin bread, Parmesan Crisps, 2 veggie trays and dip. 2 olive trays, cheeses, Parmesan and Red Onion mixture on home made little bread slices, 2 trays of Cucumber and Cream Cheese mixture on crackers, and Dill Pickle Ham Pinwheels.
The olive tray that Ken made up.
They loved Ken's trains and couldn't get over the detail and all the work he has put in it. We decided this open house is to be an annual event and everyone is looking forward to next year to see how much more he gets done. They liked how he used some of their names on the various buildings and businesses on the layout. : )
We really had a great time. I was just happy that so many people showed up and enjoyed their time at our home. : )
Well, back I go to cleaning up. Will catch up with all of you tomorrow.
Hope you all had a great first day of this brand new year.

Hi Happyone, What a great open house! The table of goodies looks awesome. Congrats on the success! John
I have had you in my thoughts today as I have taken my slow, sweet time in doing anything I've chosen! I would think about how you were having company, and you had worked hard to prepare the food for their pleasure! It looks amazing, and aren't you pleased it all went well?!? I'd help clean up if I were near! You will rest well tonight!
Well done, a great success. Enjoy your rest after the cleanup.

Your open house turned out perfectly, and what a wonderful group of friends to have surrounding you. So proud of you and Ken.
