This summer we are entertaining in a different way. Today was another in the series of unusual events. We held a luncheon party to welcome Dave and Irene to Nova Scotia. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Of course, Irene is a huge help at a party. She helps with setting up and she assists with the serving and she doesn't quit until everything is put away. And Dave assists bringing out the tables and chairs. In fact, having the addition of two willing workers makes my task much easier.
Today, we used three tables, one in the living room and two in the dining room. Of course, we just have one large room but by separating the tables it made for easier conversation. I likes the configuration of the people and the tables and chairs. And as always at our parties, the food was easy. Irene and I set out the salad and rolls at each table and as folks were talking out on the deck, we served the lasagna at each place, so when we invited everyone in for lunch, everything was ready to begin eating.
Dessert was fruit, cherries and cookies. The fruit bowls had already served as the center piece at each table, so it was easy to distribute the dessert plates, cherries and cookies and invite the guests to help themselves to tea and coffee. Our friends seemed to enjoy the lunch and the chance to get together in the middle of the day. And it did not take up a huge amount of their time. By 2:30, the kitchen was spic and span. I think I am enjoying these noon times socials.
