Pineapple Themed Lunch With Friends

Hello friends, Paul and I recently entertained Jain  A Quiet Life blog and Scott down by our pool.  We gave them a little tour and then we had lunch under the palapa. It's been so hot lately, we started earlier.  The palapa has a lovely fan to chase away the hot air.

 If you haven’t visited Jain’s blog, please do, you are in for a treat!  Her gardens are gorgeous.

I am using my floral arrangement I created from my watermelon Here. Don't waste those flowers.

The theme is pineapple, a tropical lunch under the palapa.  I seated Jain and Scott with a view of the pool. Jain was busy snapping photos.

Pineapple plates, glassware, flatware and pineapple napkin rings.  I cut some palm leaves and added 2 pineapples plus the floral arrangement. I even have pineapple salt n pepper shakers.

We started with some champagne and crab cakes with mango- peach salsa.  I forgot to take photos. Paul grilled chicken and shrimp.  I also served roasted cauliflower, potatoes and asparagus plus key lime pie.

Our pool  area is so tropical, it makes sense to create a lovely tropical lunch. Rattan reminds me of the tropics along with the bamboo plates.

Jain snapped this phot of my hibiscus.  Thankfully the squirrels haven't gotten to it yet.

My handy husband built this darling mermaid towel rack. As you can tell, I have a lot of mermaids around our pool area.

I will  be entertaining Jain and Scoot along with two other couples for a Mexican fiesta on July 30th.
