An Invitation

We recently received this photo via e-mail....

..... from Florida - accompanied by the following message.....
"Please find attached photo of our table set for dinner.  You are invited to come join us tonight.  Denis said we'll hold the meal till 7:00 pm to give you plenty of time to arrive.
Hope you can make it!"
Can you even begin to imagine how tempting that invitation was?  This is the dining area at the villa in Florida which is owned by Poppa's cousin, Denis, and his wife Liz - our frequent companions when we are in Florida.  They have been down there for a couple of weeks, and we have been feeling extremely envious!  We were about to rush off to buy tickets for a flight to Florida, but realized we would never make it to the airport in time for the departure, so we resisted the impulse, and were forced to regretfully decline the invitation!  And.......... our little boys were coming to spend the weekend with us ......... so I needed to prepare.  Thanks for the invite folks!  Have a great summer break and a safe trip home!
