dinner under the stars

My friend Rachel and I hosted a "dinner under the stars" for a few close friends from church.
We set the table up outside of Myrtle Hall in Eutaw. We both mixed our china and borrowed the silver from my mother in law.  We cut blooms from the HUGE magnolia in front of the house and greenery from here and there. The menu included Shrimp and Grits, salad, asparagus, and rolls.  We served cheesecake for dessert and had an assortment of great wines!  The night was perfect! Then food, conversation, and wine just all FLOWED!  It was a great getaway from the reality of the past few weeks!
