Friends Luncheon

Hi All,
I really have enjoyed blog hopping during this holiday season. Another thing I love is getting to host and attend get togethers, during the holiday! Today I had two long time girlfriends over for lunch.
I also wanted you to see my new movable kitchen island. I am keeping all the coffee, tea wine and cutting boards on this side, along with some utensils.
This side is where the spice rack are.
The dining room is ready for our luncheon. Spring mix salad with raspberries, pecans, apples and gruyere cheese, warm artichoke dip with bagel rounds, coleslaw, port wine cheese and crackers, fresh orange slices, wine and chocolate cake and coffee for dessert.
Here we are. Susie(in front) and I were majorettes together in high school and Susan to my left was a cheerleader. We still love being together, after all these years :)

    What a charming home you have. Your basket on the counter caught my eye; I'm a bit of a Longaberger collector. Glad I dropped by for Rednesday.

    Your home is charming, so welcoming and warm. And how wonderful to still have friends from school, there is nothing more wonderful than having a shared history and friendships of the heart.

    Happy New Year!
