Last night was such a lovely party with my walking buddies, the Walking Beauties. Though I’m a bit self-conscious to mention that in public since it was meant just to identify our group, but then, why not? As paraphrased buy the Greek philosopher, Plato, “beauty lies in the eye of the beholder”.
We thank Tess, the no. 1 jogging/walking beauty who graciously offered her home to celebrate this Christmas party.
We admire and appreciate her lovely table setting. She brought out her blue and white crockery, so beautiful and pleasing to dine with; it was above and beyond our expectations.
That was my place with my initial.
Look at this special cake she ordered from Aggie’s; so pretty, so Christmasy and so delicious!
Joy was the earliest bird, she and Tess were already having cocktails when we got there.
Jim and I arrived next. Below, see Tess toasting Jim for coming early as well
The the rest of the Beauties arrived
The garden and pool was beautiful that I couldn’t resist having my pictures taken.
Finally DINNER!
Imagine the piano music of Christmas songs played by the pianist Tess hired. It felt like we were in a hotel lobby. It was pleasant and soft enough to carry conversation.
After dinner, we had the cake and tarragon/mint tea; once again served in tall blue and white mugs.
Then there was dancing.
Sorry, I missed taking a photo of the dance instructor, DI that Tess hired as well.
As if we hadn’t taken enough photos that we had to take more
Jim andI had a great time, thanks Beauties for your enjoyable company. To Tess, once again, thank you.
Let’s have another one before Valentines. Meanwhile, we will carry on with our impromptu breakfasts. Please, no hassle, bread and coffee and interesting conversation will be great.
