~~~Dinner with Family and Friends!!!~~~

Hi my friends! I know I have been MIA but we have house guests. Joe's sister and Bil are here from Fl. for the week and we are keeping BUSY! Last night our daughter and SIL came here from work and Joe's cousin, Bonnie came over and my best friend, Wenda. It was a full house. We had a very simple dinner: grilled chicken, potato salad, fruit salad, greek salad with greek dressing and deviled eggs and baked beans! It was all yummy but the best part is spending time with loved ones. I set a pretty simple table and thought I would share. I started with a plain white tablecloth and layered on my green and white placemats. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiohZCC0UlY4Z8n60epkzK5NQz03zYuocX7ZQAVrnr-oe0vE6c3GZtYCW1Bq1NNwfnWcb7zYDRAcr2gOnGmRFrKKTioNs_nWDtxD_yHPXLRSb4i-vWJ9BTEri25CZH1mGf3AoHXCC8wp7YW/s1600/IMG_0351.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiohZCC0UlY4Z8n60epkzK5NQz03zYuocX7ZQAVrnr-oe0vE6c3GZtYCW1Bq1NNwfnWcb7zYDRAcr2gOnGmRFrKKTioNs_nWDtxD_yHPXLRSb4i-vWJ9BTEri25CZH1mGf3AoHXCC8wp7YW/s640/IMG_0351.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> My embossed white dinner plates then a black and white salad were layered on top.
