Holiday Reception at the White House






















Table decorations.

The food was wonderful and plentiful. It truly was delicious. Plenty of wine was available, but we settled for plain water - or sparkling water.

And no - I did not eat all the dessert, but I sampled all that was on my plate.

Let's see - shrimp, crab, salmon, ham, beef roast and turkey; too many vegetables to name, but the tiny roasted potatoes were the greatest of them all, followed by the asparagus.

It was truly an enjoyable experience!

A few of the many, many trees.





Very pretty decorations - everywhere.

The wreath's were absolutely stunning. I did not even photograph them all!

National Arboretum












Lydia Mathews and I spent a couple of hours at the Arboretum today. Cynthia had taken me years ago, but it was nice to visit again. I want to go back when the spring flowers/trees are in bloom.
