When people are asked "Who would you most like to invite to a dinner party?" they typically answer that they'd enjoy the company and conversation of famous figures from history or politics or entertainment. I guess I might, too. I know I'd enjoy an evening enjoying the company of people like Ruth Reichl or Anthony Hopkins or Sean Connery or Helen Mirren.
But since I've been blogging, my little world has opened up to a great big one that I've learned is full of very interesting, creative and talented people with whom I have a lot in common! So were I asked that question today I know that I'd answer that I'd like to sit down with my blogging friends and those people who come to visit and read and comment on my blog. What a party I think that would be!
So on this New Year's Day, I want to wish everyone who visits here a very happy new year, full of health, happiness, prosperity and most of all good food and good company. And if we were all sitting around this table, I'd tell you so in person. Let's just imagine it. It would be wonderful!
Best wishes for a happy new year. May you get all you wish for.
Rosemary...I am the first at your table!!! I am so thrilled to have found you this year. And, you are right...though your list of guests sounds marvelous, I would love them all, too, all those beautiful bloggers who take the time to read and comment...those would be the most special guests of all. Susan P.S. Please pass that delicious plate of...... sigh
ReplyDeleteRosemary, what a lovely idea! Please count me in on this virtual party. Good luck and every happiness in 2012. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI echo that - I often think if I come into those untold-unknown millions - I'd be traveling - breaking bread with all I've met in cybersphere. Happy New Year! The opening photo just welcomed the year in!
