A door Leading Welcoming you to our home Take off your shoes Let me take your coat Your smile brightens our walls The smell coming from the kitchen Dances on the air Can you smell the happy The warm thoughts That pour from that room The gift of time The heart of our home Come gather around the island I'll pour you a glass of wine We will laugh together Talk of our yesterdays Anticipate Dream about our tomorrows Have some appetizers Not too much A feast awaits The table is set Plates glasses carefully set Candles spreading soft light Subtle jazz Come enjoy Let us break bread Pass the gravy Share Learn Laugh Be ourselves Sit back Loosen your belt Let out a sigh Wait there's more A sweet treat Child like surprise You can't believe your eyes Our gift to you Come sit in our front room Enjoy the city lights Somehow with you here They seem more bright Some moments perfect They feel just right Memories like this Make this feel like home Being with others not alone For without friends These are merely walls That's why we welcome Friends one and all Time to go The evening done You our guest and special one Come back soon our home to share A hug a smile you know we care

Thanks Eillen. Next week we are hosting a live music event. Mary's Nephew and his band are doing a western tour. They are just stopping in Kelowna for this one day. Should be a fun night, we have about 100 people coming.
