An Elegant Dinner

Priscilla and Jonathan had us over for a belated birthday celebration, and as always, Priscilla made it such a beautiful, elegant affair. She has a real flair for turning simple events into very classy and elegant events. She sets the table with fine china and tableware. There are always simple, elegant floral displays, and the food, well that just goes without saying. Priscilla is a fabulous cook, and everything always tastes spectacular.

Priscilla made a delicious seafood gumbo and I brought my roasted red pepper bread Roasted Red Pepper Bread. They paired together perfectly. Priscilla said she had never made gumbo before, but you would never know it. It was absolutely perfect.

For dessert, she made a sticky cake with a caramel sauce and served it with ice cream. As always we had a deliciously fun evening with our life long friends. After dinner, we played some games and just enjoyed the evening and our times together.

And there was even a beautiful gift on the table for me as well. Everything Priscilla does is graced by her simple elegance; even the gift wrapping.

A couple of years ago, Priscilla had given me these gorgeous hand made wine glasses from Spain. I just love them. My present this year was a votive holder/flower vase that matched the wine glasses.

Priscilla knows me so well. She knows I love everything Spanish and anything from Spain. But then after knowing each other for literally 50+ years, we should know each other well. 🙂 Thank you Priscilla and Jonathan for an extra special birthday celebration, but most importantly for the gift of your friendship.

I am very blessed in many ways, but my most precious gifts are the gifts of friendship I have been blessed with. I have so many wonderful friends, and of course my loving husband, Larry. Life is very good indeed. Thank you, to all of you who always make me feel so special and so very loved. I am forever grareful.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Be grateful for all the many little things that happen in your life. They are far more important than think. The little things make all the difference and turn ordinary days into a special days. ‘Til next time.
