It may be a Long while before I Strut the Streets of Paris, but I can Most Certainly be a Graceful Host!
Last Thursday I Hosted a French Themed Luncheon for Some of my Fantastic Fellow Military Wives.
Opening Up My Home and Inviting Others to Share in Making Great Memories is the Ultimate form of Southern Hospitality.
My Desire is for Friends to Feel Comfortable, Full and Loved.
It's not about the Fancy Decor, Fancy Silver & China or about the Fancy Clothes.
It's about the Warm Hugs, Big Smiles, and Attentive & Caring Attitudes.
Since my Culinary Skills are lacking to say the Least, I was not Involved in Making the Parisienne Yumminess......
