Second Annual Gathering

Since the house in NC sold over the summer, we haven't had any Wining, Dining and Chatting Society get togethers.

But with everyone finally being in Florida, Bonnie J. found the perfect opportunity to get together!  What, doesn't everyone celebrate Valentine's on February 15th?? 

We all claimed our assignments - stone crabs were imported from the Keys, appetizers and Prosecco were plentiful and plenty of sweet treats to cap off the dinner.

Alfresco dining.
Our hostess made sure there were no Valentines-y details left out (both inside and outside).

Sweet endings.
