White Dog socializes with guests


White Dog and Steve (with Richard's help) put together a birthday celebration of me that left me breathless. What an incredibly blessed woman I am to have a family and friends that love me so much and so joyously! My heart sings and my eyes tear as I stroke White Dog and think back across a day filled with incredible food (Steve and Richard started cooking at 9am; Gregg and Candace stayed up late to make the cake); attentive friends and family (who showered me with love note cards and thoughtful gifts); and revitalizing wonderful positive energy. White Dog is asleep but I whisper in her ear as I kiss the top of her head, "I am one very lucky dog!"




The menu (yes, White Dog and Dragon shared in):
Field greens with oranges
Assorted grilled veggies
Antipasti imported meats/cheese
Artisanal cheese board
(White Dog oversees the 5 choices)
Tortellini w/ sundried tomatoes and
olives in pesto
Beef tenderloin w/ mango
horseradish sauce and homemade
rosemary rolls
Lemon cake with raspberry filling
decorated with candy "sushi"
