The evening was splendid, the perfect way to entertain. We had A GOAL, which was to hang our new painting so we invited the artist Eleanor and her husband Jim, who is an expert in picture hanging, for dinner along with Christina, who has impeccable taste. Of course, if you invite someone for dinner, we must be ready to serve food so we asked Lourdes to cook. She loves to cook but has never cooked for anyone other than her family so she was anxious about cooking for guests. We asked her to cook typical Cuban food and she did. It was delicious and I had nothing to do when she had left.
The painting now hangs over my desk which is perfect. In my mind, the perfect spot was to be adjacent to the chest in the dining room but it looked crowded so we tried several other places with Jim holding up the painting in place and the ladies giving advice. Everyone agreed so Jim measured and hung it in place. Of course, that meant several other painting needed moving but soon all was in place and we sat down to dinner. Our evening was pleasant and perfect. And Lourdes was pleased too.
