This is a show of love, done without asking, without thinking and with a gracious smile. Hosting/Hostessing is a skill and an art which we have all embraced. Weither it is late night pool parties with drinks made from fresh ingreditents, or teaching me to make jam, or keeping my booze in your bar and letting me use your dogs as a pillow. All of our friends open thier homes with such grace that I know what a special world I live in.
