in a very busy week On Crooked Creek. . .
a Two~by~Two Dinner Group!
For several years,
the Fellowship Committee at our Church
placed members of our congregation together in dinner groups.
Placing new(er) members with Seasoned members
allows for congregational blending
along with an amazing time for fellowship!
Peoples lives are b u s y!
Since retirement,
we have set aside some time just for fellowshipping!
So~o~o. . .
this week On Crooked Creek another couple,
whom we adore, came for a Two~by~Two Dinner Group!
Although I wanted to set a elegant table for our dinner,
I kept a simplistic table setting
to allow for comfort and ease of conversation.
"Mr. Ed" has been quite eager
to do some "grilling" On Crooked Creek
and had already chosen to make his delicious Rib~eye Steak!
Here's the evenings menu:
Two~by~Two
Vegetable Soup
Rib~eye Steak
Mashed Potatoes
Mushroom Gravy
Green Beans
Croissants
Raspberry Clafoutis
Colombian Coffee
Raspberry in Paris Rooibus Tea
I chose newly purchased creamy ivory floral bouquets
tied with an ivory satin ribbon
to place in my urns for the centerpiece.
Placing each atop a plain white cotton
with polka dot organza runner defines the table
and allows for free flowing conversation!
Picking up the green in the center of the florals,
I chose my everyday sage green dinnerware.
Soft Robin's egg hued linen dinner napkins
encircled with ivory, green leaf and red berry napkin ring
brings a sense of Seasonal flavor to the tablescape.
I adore this leaf embossed creamy ivory serving bowl! |
Newly acquired Home Laughlin gravy boat with soft golden edge. |
Vintage cream ware oval serving platter from my ever~growing collection! |
I chose some of my favorite serving dishes
for our menu selections!
Our Two~by~Two Dinner Group table
set simplistically for good food and wonderful fellowship!
Began as this . . .
. . .and finished as this Two~by~Two Dinner Group.
On Crooked Creek,
the fellowship sweet continued long after sunset!
Until next time. . .

Your table looks wonderful, Pat. Our church used to do that, too. It was called Dinner for Eight and we rotated houses. It was a lot of fun and put two newer couples with two "old timers" (church-wise not age wise). Great post. Hope you have a good upcoming week-xo Diana
ReplyDeleteTable looks wonderful and the menu sound delightful, Pat.
