The recipes were pulled.
The flowers arranged.
A celebration was in the air.
The only thing needed was for the guests to arrive.
The weekend of the ninth we celebrated the children's fifth anniversary and an early Father's Day with the two dads.
Our daughter and son-in-law were coming to pick up our little house guest, Waldi,
and their sweet girl Raven,
after a two week adventure touring Spain.
I do love an excuse to dress the table,
toss together something new
 |
| Heirloom tomatoes with Lady Pea Salsa |
and add something that is always a success.
 |
| Confetti Corn |
I even baked a cake.
 |
| Peach Upside Down Cake |
We toasted the anniversary, the Dads and...
the Queen (Moi).
the Queen (Moi).
We shared a feast.
We talked and laughed long after the sun had set and the stars had begun to sparkle.
The night was over much to soon.
Morning came and our guests waved good-bye,
leaving Willie alone to wonder where everyone had gone.
"Hey guys, please come back!"
Willie, I miss them too.
Recipes to follow another day.
Everything looks so tasty and your table setting is really nice. Such a shame to say goodbye to your cute visitors.

What a feast and a beautiful get together. Good company has a habit of leaving a void on departure and even the house seems to miss them
ReplyDeleteWishing you many more such gatherings

It all looks so inviting - wish I had been there, but still, I've been "invited" via your blog. I like all the pictures but my favourite is probably of the table with the flowers on. It looks so harmonious.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, a lovely tablescape, good food and good company! Sounds perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful evening! I love a family gathering...the one thing I'm looking forward to soon being so close to my family. Your table and feast looks delicious - I'll have a piece of that pie please. :)

ReplyDeleteNice table setting and wonderful looking dishes. Sounds like you had a nice celebration.
ReplyDeleteThe dessert looks yummy.
Your menu selections looked very good. It looks like Ina Garten may have had an influence. Precious dogs . . . I imagine the owners were happy to see them yet sad for you to see them leave. Happy celebrations . . .

Oh yes, I can relate. Those moments are over too quickly.
ReplyDeleteHopefully soon we will not have to say good-bye. Bonnie
DeleteSounds like a wonderful evening. And thanks for the photo of the peach cake. It reminded me of a similar recipe that I love, but haven't made in a while. I just love fruit desserts!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you had a great time. I love your flowers! Jx
ReplyDeleteYum, yum, what a sweet time. I love your peach upside-down cake, Bonnie. My mum used to do a pineapple upside-down cake.
