Yip it's was time for the next Dinner Club event. The dinner took place this past Saturday evening and the theme was French. The entire invitation was in French....had some difficulty deciphering the contents thereof......!
Our host and hostess were Hans & Edith. For weeks we were all looking forward to spending some quality time in the company of our dear friends of the dinner club and finally the evening was upon us.
Here are the photos of this most memorable dinner. The photos say it all....!
