Candele… Candles…

There always seems to be wax left in the bottom of filled candles … too much to waste.  I dug the wax out,  remelted  it,  and filled pretty containers that I had on hand… They will make nice gifts…

Una Serata con Amici...An Evening with Friends......

Dinner at our house is a very important part of the day.  Whether it's just us,  or with family or friends, or ... family and friends,  we love to do it,  and we do it all the time...  On this night, it was with  good friends... a very special couple... and a simple dinner...

Some flowers and herbs picked from the garden...
