Hi there,

Recently I had the great pleasure of visiting my good friends who have a home in Hudson, Florida. In addition to enjoying their friendship, their beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico, Dave and Martha introduced us to their neighbors. Nicer people you could not ask to meet. One of their neighbors is an extraordinarly generous and charming woman named Sandy.

Can’t you just tell from her beautiful smile how much fun she is. Sandy and her husband, John, invited us to their home for drinks and apps before dinner. On my previous visit, I was fascinated by how beautiful her home is. So, I was very excited to see the inside. Her home is just as unique and beautiful as expected. After seeing the house, we got down to the serious business of having a glass of wine and an app. Sandy’s Meatball Yummy’s were a complete hit. By the time we left for the restaurant, the plate was empty.

I can’t wait for you to make this simple and delicious app for the next time you have friends over for drinks.
