...with The Nest filled with warm-hearted spirits
Open House at Neita's Nest in mid-December was much fun with friends meeting friends. Many came to collect their orders of Christmas puddings for gifts and their own homes. They tarried a while as we offered delicious tastings of Berl's Pate and our own puddings.
Most of our December guests arrived mid month and later, and we continued the exchange of Christmas Tree ornaments for the 4th year in a row. We enjoyed the advent of Christmas with our guests who hailed from Switzerland, The Netherlands via Curacao, Nassau, and Jamaican sisters reuniting from Atlanta and US Virgin Islands. Several other Dutch guests stayed, including one couple who was referred to us by our friends at MarBlue.
Above, a few of the many lovely gifts, from left to right: The White House Historical Association Christmas Ornament 2005 - a gift from Pat and Fred; Berchadette's exchange was a print of her own artwork, a special memento as she heads off to art school; a guest from Hoboken, N.J. stayed with us early in the New Year, reminding us of our Turkish family who stayed with us before and who exchanged this memento with us then.
Then came Christmas, and ours was the venue for a family dinner for over 60 persons. The Energy Plus Mento Band carried the swing long after the delicious meal was served.
Sharing live with you 15 seconds of the fun, thanks to Josina.
Repeat guests Pat and Fred from New York vacationed here during the Season after doing some wonderful volunteer work in Accompong. My high school friend Liz, and her husband John, returned from Scotland after meeting here 40 years ago. Other new-found friends hailed from the Phillipines, the UK, New York, Hoboken, Paris, Los Angeles, and the Carolinas.
Happy New Year!!
