This is such a sad reality for many. I believe community has been badly attacked, but pockets of strength remain. Those whose churches remained open survived better. We enjoyed seeing each other in the parking lot, even in the worst of times.

I love dinners with friends, and remember fondly the years when we had a dinner group with four couples. Each would hostess once a quarter, creating a fun menu and causing us to stretch our culinary skills and taste preferences.

Now I am in a group of twelve ladies who meet monthly for dinner and Bunco. I rarely miss. I believe the group has met for over 15 years. Outside was a great option for a while.

Especially in the recent years it has become more important to maintain social connections. We need to take this advice and get cookin!!

Really appreciate that you included the challenges you encountered as you moved back into welcoming, into community. Once I clear off my dining room table, I'll start inviting friends in to share treats or a meal. I needed this encouragement, thank you
