While Valentine’s Day can be just for lovers (xo to my husband), I also like the idea of spreading the love a little further – to friends, family, guests, and beyond. This little photo essay is from a pasta party we hosted at the house last weekend for in-town and out-of-town guests.
Initially an auction item supporting Trekkers, an adventuring mentor group in which both girls are involved, the party became a celebration of food, friends, and Maine. A guest of the Riggin bid on the party, Jon and I hosted, and we all ate and made merry. What a wonderful afternoon.
