Planning A Dinner Party With Friends
She surveyed the look of the table settings on her new dining room table set. It was beautiful cherry wood with cushioned chairs that were made for comfort. She had put a bowl of fresh flowers and candles in the center of the lovely table. The settings were perfectly arranged with crystal water goblets. The silverware gleamed on either side of each plate.
Although it seemed a shame to cover the table top, she had a beige lace tablecloth on it. The linen napkins were pale yellow with matching napkin rings. Crystal water goblets were in place next to each plate and the silverware was arranged in the correct order. Everything was ready for her guests.
Three friends were coming at eight o’clock. She showered and dressed then came down to check the beef loin roast that was inside the crock pot with onions, garlic and celery. It had been slow-cooking for hours now.
The rice was almost ready too. She lifted the cover of the stainless steel rice cooker to double check. She had baked a cherry cheesecake earlier that day. She was a talented baker and it looked delicious. She would serve it with three cherries on each plate.
Her outfit was carefully coordinated. Pale yellow sweater with beige slacks and heels matched perfectly. Her earrings were long and dangling to her shoulders. Her short brown hair was carefully brushed and arranged stylishly. She smiled to herself as she thought of the Emo kids who put streaks of pink and neon green in their pitch-black dyed hair. The piercings in their eyebrows and lips were horrid she thought.
She went quickly through the house, putting out guest towels and soap and fluffing couch pillows as she moved. She put fresh dish towels and hot pads in the kitchen. Then she went into her bedroom and started to clear her loft bed with desk. She left her new computer where it was, but put away the clutter of papers and pens. She took one envelope to the mailbox to be picked up.
After hanging all the clothes away, she checked her hair in the mirror. She was glad she had selected the diamond drop earrings. She grabbed a bracelet to add to her outfit. She smiled to herself as she headed back to the kitchen. As she walked, the doorbell rang. She was very pleased that her new friends were considerate enough to arrive right on time.
