“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”

Hello dear friends. I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day Weekend celebrating with the ones you love! I am excited to be joining eighteen table stylists for a summer tablescape blog hop hosted by Chloe @ Celebrate & Decorate. Can you believe we are already thinking about summer? If you’ve been around here very long, you know that I love alfresco dining…and since the weather has been gorgeous, why not step outside and enjoy?  You’re invited to a little summer alfresco dining today!

My favorite place for summertime dinners are the great outdoors!

You can find the links for all of the inspiring tablescapes at the end of my post.READ MORE

High School days seem to create memories that are very unique as compared to other life events and experiences !

With an even number of “boys and girls”, 16 of the 29 who graduated in my class were able to attend our reunion last weekend. Three or four that had planned to come but had to cancel for various reasons. Not a bad percentage considering!READ MORE
