Company for lunch today
Friends from Nevada
To celebrate a birthday . . .
The table in the dining room
The lace cloth and damask napkins in silver rings
Jim's grandmother's cutlery
My grandmother's china
And a menu, of course, for each place
The centerpiece of garden flowers -- lavender iris and yellow tulips
and bridal wreath
The menus echo the iris in the centerpiece
Lunch was full of Spring flavors . . .
An asparagus quiche with fresh local asparagus
Served with a salad of romaine, fresh strawberries, red onions, walnuts and a homemade poppyseed dressing
Since they were Missourians,
dessert was Bess Truman's Frozen Lemon Pie
An old fashioned lemon pie full of lemony flavor
A perfect dessert for a warm Spring day
One of my favorite ways to spend a day is to have company for lunch . . .
tidying up the house, fix a delicious meal and have great conversation

A very pretty and delicious-looking lunch! The menu cards are beautiful with the centerpiece.
What a perfect spring table you set. The menu cards were inspired in their color.
Your table is so lovely - wonderful food, bouquet and lovely setting! The menu cards are amazing!
