ironed and starched some fancy napkins...
put a pretty lace cloth on the table...
and had lunch with two friends.
They came at 12:00 and the next thing we knew it was 5:35! What a blessing friends are!Today I am thankful for these two friends and I am also thankful for all of you who were so sweet and shared a cup of virtual tea with me when I was feeling sad that the grandchildren were gone.
What are you thankful for today?

ReplyDeleteYour lunch table looks so very pretty.
I think what I'm the most thankful for are my children. They are always there for me.
ReplyDeleteI love your dishes. I have a 'dish' obsession. LOL They are beautiful.
I am thankful to have discovered your blog so that I can come enjoy some eye candy on a daily basis! Your friends are lucky to sit and enjoy all your little lovelies!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you had two sweet friends to spend the day with. I am thankful for you and for your special blog. It has been such a joy to meet so many new friends via the blogging world :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table setting and a wonderful way to share it with your two friends. I am thankful for sweet friends like you!

Recently I read something in the paper about women and friends - these relationships are proven to be very important to physical and mental health...no surprise!! Of course, any meal eaten from Dainty Blue HAS to be beneficial.
ReplyDeleteI've been working on the mainland this week,and this afternoon I'm meeting my sister and two friends for a fun weekend - and I'm very thankful for that!
Oh, what a blessing to have good friends. They enhance our lives so much. Beautiful tablesetting and the linens are gorgeous. Very pretty. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteRhondi, it all looks so pretty, and your friends must have felt so special.
ReplyDeleteToday, I'm thankful for our wonderful freedoms. I am so sad at the awful things going on in the world.
Hello Rhondi, I am happy to have time to say hello today. We have been home since late Monday night and catching up with my blogging friends is time consuming. We had the most wonderful trip for the past six weeks. We are so blessed to have a safe trip and journey home. I am thankful for a trip full of adventure and being home again.
ReplyDeleteI should have joined in your thankful day and I hope to join in next time I am able. This sat. we are off again to camp with our children and grands. Another week without a computer. I find posting ahead isn't such a chore but finding time to visit is not going to happen. sigh. all will calm down soon. In the meantime we are having a wonderful summer.
I love your beautiful blue and white tea set. It is so elegant and special to share with your dear friends. We are nothing without our family and friends. We can go on with our Lord in our hearts but we need our loved ones don't we?
Have a wonderful week and until the next time...
Hugs, Jeanne
Rhondi, there's nothing better than girl time and your lunch looks loike fun! That's a good way for a little recovery when you are feeling blue.

Your table looks so lovely. I had my two wee GD's sing songs to me on the phone today. They live over the ocean so it was lovely. I'm thankful I get to see them this year.

ReplyDeleteFriends are just treasures. I can very well relate that when it comes to friends and conversations time seems to have been forgotten :-) Just goes to show how much we enjoy such company. :-)Funny that even if you get to see them most of the time, you never ran out of things to say :-)
