February 12th: Being close to Valentines, Ron and Julie hosted a lovely romantic dinner for eight along with friends Jim & Janet, and Arthur & Sharon. Everyone dressed up for this one which was kind of fun. Ron had roses for the ladies. The dinner was delicious. We all got to read some poetry that Ron and Julie had put on the back of postcards. I liked mine the best.
An orange on the table
your dress on the rug
and you in my bed
sweet present of the present
cool of night
warmth of my heart.
--Jaques Prevert
The champagne with a touch of cranberry and wine flowed freely.
Happy Birthday to Julie was celebrated with chocolate cake, ice cream and Bananas Foster.
A most memorable evening with good friends.
