A Formal Style Dinner For Friends
The pale blossoms made a lovely, low centerpiece in the middle of her cherry wood dining room table set. It was too hard to talk when a high centerpiece obstructed your view. On the sides of the centerpiece she place candle holders with pale yellow candles. Stepping back to the doorway, she analyzed the scene and was happy with it. The cushioned chairs and table were perfect.
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.
When she lifted the cover of her stainless steel rice cooker, she found it almost done steaming. She had baked a lemon cake with icing to serve after the meal. Baking was fun for her. When they had dessert, she would place a fresh lemon slice on each plate next to the cake.
She had planned and carried out everything perfectly. Her pale yellow sweater matched the linen slacks she wore. Her earrings were lovely diamond drops. Her blond hair was brushed and curled over her ears. She thought of how ugly the hair of the Emo kids looked. They dyed it pitch black and put streaks of orange down each side. She especially hated the piercings they wore.
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 that, she looked at her image in the mirror. Everything was neat and in place she thought to herself as she admired her pretty earrings. She ran back down to the kitchen and checked the dinner again just as the doorbell rang. She walked over to greet her guests who had arrived right on time. She really appreciated it when people were considerate. She smiled and welcomed them as they came through the front door.
