I know that I believe!!! ;) Entertaining on a warm summer's evening in a garden... ending with the stars overhead - it is magic, for certain!<br /><br />Your table is beautiful and the food....!!! =] (and, I'm not saying that just to 'say it'. It looks just perfect to me. I'm wishing I could zap it here for an al fresco breakfast, right this moment!)<br /><br />I was just reading a copy of 'Martha Stewart Living' magazine and she was talking about a 'summer house' she has on an island off the coast of Maine. She had a huge weekend party for seventy of her best friends ;) (all staying in her little 'cottage'! LOL!) and she commented on how carefully one needs to plan and make sure that one has everything! There's no running to the store when one is on the island! =O That's so cute about your daughter cycling the strawberries to you. =]<br /><br />Remember that I was going to try and have a tea party in the garden? siiiigh.... not this summer! =( BUT! In sheer desperation, we had an impromptu, last fling before school starts, hot dog party in the garden. We invited one friend and their family for each boy. (The parents are our friends, too!) When I say 'impromptu', one family didn't get the message until an hour before but, still, were able to come! and, there were no lights hanging from the trees, alas, and the candles all blew out and we used paper napkins and plates but it was a comfortably warm evening outside with lots of laughter. It ended with a 'campfire' and roasting marshmallows for s'mores - out under the stars. The big dipper was HUBUNGOUS and glowing right behind my friends head. It was such a lovely time and I thought of you about every fifteen minutes! =D (I'm chuckling - I really did.;)) There were no pictures, alas. Just the ones in my mind. =] So, that's why you get your own private blog post about it, right here! ;) =D<br /><br />I'm wondering if I can wangle one more 'fancy' dinner outside before the season just gets too chilly - that one I would certainly make sure to get pics of!<br /><br />Okay! I have to get going, now! =]<br /><br />xxoo xxoo =]Katy Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972227249393814417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907830779862347023.post-86109458519379969772012-08-23T19:25:16.256+02:002012-08-23T19:25:16.256+02:00My friends and I will miss Pippa's beautiful B...My friends and I will miss Pippa's beautiful B&B too.

And the pictures of it - from the lovingly laid table, the guests and the delicious food - also look very beautiful!<br />Many Küschelbüschels to you, groetjes <br />TraudeRostrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901976103765887360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907830779862347023.post-72522018650528036012012-08-20T18:27:57.632+02:002012-08-20T18:27:57.632+02:00Wow!Looks like a very tasty meal.
