The night of the Sweetheart Dinner has arrived......
A glowing hearth and a cute kitty await the guests......
The table is set......
Giancarlo has provided valentine cookies with each guest's name for place cards......
Even Dwight is excited.....

The candles are lit.....
Individual place settings....
And the guests begin to arrive.....
It is an evening to appreciate your sweetheart....
We provided the main dish--pork chops served atop puree cauliflower with fig thyme sauce....

Some more sweethearts--Dwight and Louise brought the vegetables-- a calibacitas medley....
There was intellectual discussion.....
And great hilarity! Theresa brought a delicious salad with avocados etc..............
Pat brought peach cobbler for desert and Waymon provided croissants..............
And the night was full of camaraderie and music......

If you forgot to bring a sweetheart, one was provided for you..........
Some of us discussed transcendental phenomenology........
And some enjoyed the six bottles of champagne that Bob brought........
Or the bottles of wine that the Gonzaleses brought.....
Bob decided that his lovely cupid napkin holder made a nice earring........
