A Leprechaun Luncheon

It’s fun to remember special times and special people. Fran was one of those special people. This is a look back at six years ago and Fran’s St. Pat’s Day lunch. Fran’s luncheons were always a treat and the March get-together was no exception. St. Patrick’s Day was the theme so tables were decked in […]

Looking Back at a Small, Furry Hostess

Looking Back at a Small, Furry Hostess

  Yesterday, my friend Fran emailed me some sad news: Miss Kitty had died. I’ve written about Miss Kitty several times, when I wrote about the luncheons Fran hosted in her home.

Fran’s Leprechaun Luncheon

It’s fun to remember enjoyable times, isn’t it? This morning, I’m re-printing a post I wrote in 2016, two years ago. This was at Fran’s house before she and her husband moved to South Carolina.

I expect this will be a memorable day, in a bittersweet way. Through the years, I’ve told you about Fran and her monthly luncheons. I’ve posted pictures of the luncheons, Fran’s beautiful flower garden, her numerous antiques. Today, sad to say, is the last of those luncheons. Fran and her husband are relocating because of a […]

A Special Place

A Special Place

Fran’s luncheons are always a special time and her house is a special place. I am convinced she and her husband have green thumbs because their front and back yards are a-bloom with flowers and vines. Inside the front door, a warm welcome meets each guest as friends call hello and Fran is ready with a warm hug. Today, […]
