My book club, “between the covers” got together for a dinner party last weekend, and our hostess did an absolutely amazing job! I mean, I was completely floored by the gorgeous candle lit table she set for us on her deck under the stars. Outstanding food, and wonderful company. A fantastic time was had by all. Thank you Cindy!!

Crystal posted about the menu on her blog. See more pics on my flicker.
