This afternoon I had the privilege of having a luncheon for six girlfriends I went to Jr. High and High School with. We've known each other for over 50 years, and always have fun whenever we get together.
I served a pre-Thanksgiving menu, and the tablescape was set for the holiday as well.
Place setting cards were attached to chocolate turkeys for the girls to take home.
We began with Minnesota Wild Rice soup [sorry, no photo], then Turkey and Uncle Ben's Country Rice in Puff Pastry, Sweet Potatoes, and Cranberry Orange Relish, with savory rolls. Instead of hot tea, we drank hot spiced cider.
Dessert was Pumpkin Pie Parfait
The gift of friendship is a blessing all year long!

Oh, what fun! How lovely that you fine group of ladies have remained friends throughout the years. {I didn't have that luxury because we moved around too much.} Your table is stunning and the food sounds delicious. I would love a taste of that pumpkin pie parfait! Thank you for sharing your wonderful gathering with us and have a splendid week, Phyllis.
