"There are no strangers here.
Only friends you haven't met"
~ William Butler Yeats ~
A couple of nights ago, we had friends over for dinner. Only hours prior to them coming to our house, they were strangers.
Months ago, when the picture above was taken, we had a large number of friends for a BBQ. All of them we only just met. Tom met them all for the first time that night.
We had several more parties and BBQs since we bought the house last year. Each friendly gathering brought more new friends.
When Tom and I began talking about buying a house, there was one thing we agreed on. We wanted a house big enough to accommodate visitors and enjoy a great time with friends. With God's grace, our dream came true. Since then, we've met so many wonderful people who have enriched our lives with theirs.
Our house admits friends only. There are no strangers here.
