The six of us who could make it (Wendy, Deanna, Janet, Pam, Dori, me) started out in the living room with appetizers and conversation.
Our hostess with the mostess, Janet.
Deanna
Janet has great furniture and decorations in her home. She gets 'finds' as she travels about and when going on buying trips for her store, Ma Valise in Salem.
Poor Pam, had surgery on both thumbs within a few weeks of each other. She has a good attitude about it, however. She gets by with a little help from her friends (and husband, Tom).
Janet's table is always great to behold.
She has lots of fascinating collections and has a gift for displaying anything, really.
Dori
Menu - Baked Apples and New Potatoes (page 176), Oregon Chardonnay Chicken (page 148) from Rogue River Rendezvous, a book I own as luck would have it. Janet sent recipe copies to those present.
Frozen Pumpkin Dessert (page 200).
Debbie Unruh and Nancy Harrison arrived as most of us were leaving! They had attended their dinner group first.
Nancy had a bit of a surprise for us. She is engaged!!
"Goodnight, Janet. It was a lovely evening."
