5 Stars

How to be a 5 star hostess:
1. Have a wonderful lunch ready when I arrive. (Even though you are on your own diet and cannot eat any of it!) Menu: Homemade Fresh Pea Soup (served in brown polka dot bowls atop brown and white striped plates.)
Baby Lettuce Salad (with hand painted quirky cruet bottles for the dressing)
Fresh Orange and Currant Scones
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries 2. Put your three large dogs in the kennel or away with your husband because you know I am afraid of big dogs.
3. Have beautiful little and big fresh flower arrangements everywhere.

4. Let me stay in the "Marilyn Monroe" bedroom. With light aqua satin comforter, soft beige sheets, mirrored dresser, crystal chandelier, beaded lamps and
gorgeous panoramic view of San Francisco AND Oakland bridges and all in between out my window.
Have a house full of eye candy everywhere--a house that is so beautiful it has been in a magazine.
5. Chauffeur me everywhere I want to go and see. 6. Have fun watching The Bachelor and make whimsy clips together.
7. Be your wonderful self!
Thank you, dear friend, Barbara, for a wonderful visit!

  4. Friends are to cherish and special friends like Barbara come rarely in a life time.
    Her home looks spectacular and yet so warm and cozy. I am glad you had a wonderful time and could spend time with your sweet friend.

    She is just as lucky to have a friend like you in her life!:-)

  6. Barbara is a great friend to you! And she's fun AND has a tattoo!
    I second the thought that she has the cutest, fatest cat. Next time you should let him snuggle in your room with you!

  7. Dear Jean,
    I woke up this morning to complete
    fog and found my way to the computer and at your encouraging
    to your blog. You know this is all
    new to me. What a wonderful surprise. The view of the City so
    amazing. If only it was that way
    each day. The sun was here because
    you came to visit. Thank you for
    all the beautiful comments. It is
    so easy to entertain when your friend that inspires you each and every day comes to visit with her
    beautiful three daughters and so
    cute son-in-law. Of course, this is
    how I feel when I come to visit you
    in Utah and when we visited each other when living just two blocks
    away in beautiful Alamo. Sunshine
    and all....I was so inspired by
    the recyclable flowers you taught
    me to make while you were here, I
    have ten ready to go for our
    Spa Day Decorations for our Alamo
    Women's Club in April. I cant wait
    until you return soon to see your
    new grandson that will be here shortly. Trooper, the fat cat, Avery, Ryleigh, Oso and Bill will
    be here too. Marilyn is awaiting
    your arrival too..... I would to have all your blogger friends as mine,their comments were so sweet, but since I have no idea how to set
    up a blog and two daughters too far
    away to help me,I will have to just
    enjoy the special blogs and friends
    through reading your blog of which
    I will now do everyday along with
    all the others....Love Barbara
