Tonight is the annual Hearts Card Party at church that George and I host each year. We bring the tablecloths, napkins and cups, and provide sodas and coffee and everyone else brings a snack or a dessert to share. The food is really good, but the real fun is sitting down to play Hearts with about 30 of your friends. We all bring card tables and chairs. The "price of admission" is a package of new socks for the homeless shelter.
This year we are bringing the chocolate fountain from Mike and Michelle's wedding. I went to the party store and bought six bags of chocolate wafers. I sure do hope that the lady was right and that this is what we need. I have no idea how to make a chocolate fountain work....but we are sure going to try.
We have hosted this party for the past five years and it has been going on annually for a lot longer than that. It is usually the same people who show up, and it is a lot of fun. If you don't know how to play, we teach you, so every once in awhile we get a newbie. At the end of the evening, we tally up the lowest scores and crown a King and Queen of Hearts, who are presented with the Hearts Party mug and a foil crown, which they wear at church the following morning.
It is a fun night and I'm looking forward to it!
