I invited some of the Lovely Livsey Ladies to come for cocktails at 5:00 p.m. today and everyone in invited came! So there were 7 of us and we sat out on the porch, and enjoyed this beautiful time of the year. This is a great way to entertain and to stay in touch with people. So easy. Turns out that everybody brought something (though I said not to) and we had a beautiful assortment of snacks and I served (get this) a dirty martinee, 2 manhattans, 2 wines, 1 gin and tonic, and a cup of hot tea in one of my beautiful china cups. They stayed 2 hours and we had a fun visit. I recommend this way to entertain! Easy! Fun!
