The Dinner Party that Wasn't


Tonight Stephen and I were supposed to have three couples over for dinner. I was cooking the main stuff and each couple was bringing something for the meal. I have had the table set since midweek, all I needed to do was final special touches. Alas I have been sick for the last two days. I waited until noon today thinking I could pull it off but the nausea, added to the fear I would get someone else sick made the decision. Stephen called LL and D and they graciously agreed to host. So tonight Stephen went taking food and my apologies. Guess we'll have a formal meal sometime in the next week to take advantage of the set table.

  1. I'm so sorry that you are sick, Beverly, and also that you were disappointed not to be able to host your dinner party. Your table looks beautiful, and I'm sure dinner would have been a smashing success. I hope you feel much better very soon!

  3. Dear Sweet, Thoughtful Beverly, I'm sorry that you aren't feeling well. Your table looks so elegant! Hoping that you will feel lots better in the morning and you and Stephen can have a wonderful breakfast seated at your resort spa looking table. Put on some orchestra music and you will be there on some tropical island with your elegant table.
    Love,
    Dale
