~~~A Casual Monday Dinner with Friends~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Joe's cousin lost his best friend last week and they always had gone to dinner together on Monday night. So, I decided he shouldn't spend this first Mon. alone. I made a pan of ziti, had Italian bread and for dessert we had vanilla ice cream with strawberries and blueberries. We all had a good time. I am sorry I forgot to take pictures of the FOOD!!!! It was good though!!!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp1nYCT-CtSduuTmxwjcOlhbPFSNsQ-EQuOV6r6xPDnI9waeKzukYvnQMAuiwtiePHUiJ2IAVwrKq19GTRsaOUPb9IxB07uQI6fe1WSiNwjt-_F60_hKiu65Cv39kRA1txhsIBhcur7Os3/s1600/IMG_6263.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp1nYCT-CtSduuTmxwjcOlhbPFSNsQ-EQuOV6r6xPDnI9waeKzukYvnQMAuiwtiePHUiJ2IAVwrKq19GTRsaOUPb9IxB07uQI6fe1WSiNwjt-_F60_hKiu65Cv39kRA1txhsIBhcur7Os3/s320/IMG_6263.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI65qs3fDLZ-GbbZtJNriCAwei7cu3qROdEfvx1EuSqU5GODiF766zvOQOf6bhS3X94gfkDWBzDdmnhivmNu-eyEOA3w0PvLK9_Mt-PfpFBoKLQp8bNurWNuGEIkc7l1-hT6G_3HHzjcgB/s1600/IMG_6259.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI65qs3fDLZ-GbbZtJNriCAwei7cu3qROdEfvx1EuSqU5GODiF766zvOQOf6bhS3X94gfkDWBzDdmnhivmNu-eyEOA3w0PvLK9_Mt-PfpFBoKLQp8bNurWNuGEIkc7l1-hT6G_3HHzjcgB/s320/IMG_6259.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> I used one of my favorite tablecloths with palm trees on it. Then a woven placemat and green dinner dish. The napkins coordinate but don't exactly match the tablecloth. They have palm leaves on them. I folded them accordian style, folded them in half and slipped inot the napkin ring. THen you jst fan them out and fluff a little!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEXOg_VPqjPwgHOkxweLXl30p45qJp4y1tBfTAhBruwaaSQrQhBYQ7GgpeY_o3KGf80Llqb0LD8jgAOO3vhWGOHAX7O0xVogBLUgG-lvgOft0xLbransicmuh44X5AU68JSW4bFUjQMJpN/s1600/IMG_6260.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEXOg_VPqjPwgHOkxweLXl30p45qJp4y1tBfTAhBruwaaSQrQhBYQ7GgpeY_o3KGf80Llqb0LD8jgAOO3vhWGOHAX7O0xVogBLUgG-lvgOft0xLbransicmuh44X5AU68JSW4bFUjQMJpN/s320/IMG_6260.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Green water glasses.
