We got to Diane and DD’s and the pups immediately started exploring. The rest of us began sampling the wares Diane had prepared: champagne cocktails, hot artichoke spread, assorted Irish and British cheeses/crackers and this wonderful Texas Peach Jalapeno Jam over cream cheese which was absolutely delish.

Diane and DD are the consummate hosts.

 Diane created a tablescape that was exquisite.

Fresh hydrangeas flanked by beribboned Scotties graced the center of the table. Scottie placecards marked the seating arrangements.  A lovely dinner of lasagna, salad, hot bread and wine was followed by a light sorbet accompanied by  Scottish shortbreads, coffee and liqueurs.

After dinner, there was a barkday celebration for Duff with as much detail given to it.

DD’s SuperBowl rings were very cool.

Diane gave us lovely gift bags filled with Texas gourmet specialties and Scottie accessories.  Only Mark and Wendy’s early flight reluctantly ended the evening. I cannot tell you how much fun was had by all. ~ Indy and Lucy’s Mom

All I can say is that I told Duff not to go after the ball. ~ Indy
