A Magical Dinner Party...

Dinner parties can be magical. I attended a great one last night. All the guests arrived around six. Everyone came bearing gifts of wine and were in very good spirits. Our hostess and dear friend, Pasha, took our coats and ushered us into the living room.
She had candles lit, flowers in low vases and appetizers filling a large round center table. Yummy. She had put together an interesting group of folks. Some of us had known each other for 20 years! We visited, laughed, talked and relaxed. After about 30 minutes we moved on to the dining room. The table was set beautifully. She used a color way of Blue with dashes of Purple. Placemats, napkins, water goblets and wine glasses, candles tall and short, everything sparkled with the love, thought and the intention she had used while putting this lovely table together. She had invited eight guests. I think this is the perfect number. It is small enough to still be intimate, yet large enough to say “Wow that was some party!” We were treated to a terrific meal of Seafood and an amazing Curry dish, followed by an organic Salad and then Berries and Cake. We laughed, talked and toasted to each other, our memories and our lovely hostess. A good time was had by all. Thanks Pasha.
