Yesterday we rummaged through our wine cellar looking for something different to take us away. We found a few bottles of "Marilyn Merlot" that we bought a few years back. It was surprisingly tasty. I briefly retreated to the Library, my favorite room of the house. It is such an inviting room, rich red walls, chocolate-brown crown moulding, brown leather sofa, comfy side chairs, and books galore. I can lose myself in the Library, it has loads of character and mood...perfect to curl up with a glass of wine and a good book. The "Marilyn Merlot" was a perfect choice to unwind.Sunday Dinner Party
On Sunday evening, our friends Gary & Pete hosted a casual dinner party for 12. We enjoyed a few cocktails and exchanged witty banter before dinner. Behind the bar, they had an unusual vase with the most beautiful birds of paradise; I just had to take a photo. After a sumptuous dinner, Gary served a delectable cheese cake covered in fresh fruit. It was delish!

"A casual dinner party for 12"?? And they just whipped this up like it was nothing I suppose? I can't even begin to contemplate such an endeavor, I have trouble enough making dinner for myself and my daughter!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment over on my blog, I appreciate it and will have to spend some more time over here as you've got some interesting posts.
I just have to ask though - is that really your house over on the sidebar? It looks more like a mansion than a house!
That cheesecake looks 'to die for'!
witty banter and cheesecake??? damn, i'm never invited to anything!!!
Great photos Rick. That vase is very unusual. It's lovely and the cheesecake looks delicious. I'm sure you enjoyed your dinner party!
