eat, drink and be merry

My book club came over last night...
After I put out the food and drink,
Zoe went into guard mode for me...
and guarded this yummy spread of bruschetta, grapes,
 and cream cheese layered with chutney and hazelnuts
(so easy and simply the best).
Our book of the evening was Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.
As it pertains to Frank Lloyd Wright I went with the architecture theme.
So I put down blue prints as a table cloth (thanks Doug)
and displayed this petite building complex
created by architect Kim when she was a student.
Then we had a lively discussion while sipping wine on the patio 
and enjoying the beautiful Seattle evening...
doesn't get any better than this.

Guess what?  Monsieur Nick is in Chicago on the second leg of his journey
and will be home this evening...tres bien.
This morning I went to the finger doctor and she said I can begin using my digit - 
at 5 1/2 weeks I never expected to hear that.  Yippeee!!! Our bodies are amazing!
Have a truly wonderful weekend -
I know I will!

  7. So glad to hear your finger is doing so much better. Amazing how dependent we artists are on all our fingers until something happens. Your book club looks like so much fun. I'd love to be able to spend time discussing books, drinking wine and enjoying Seattle with you. My husband and I were there last summer and truly enjoyed it.

    I can't tell you that I always have a jerk reaction when you have Zoe in a picture...she looks so much like our Spanky...who we miss so much.....
