Saturday night was "poker night" which meant an evening of fun and frivolity. We usually rotate who hosts poker night, just to keep things interesting. We always start out with cocktails. This past occasion we had Rum with Pomegranate juice served on the rocks. It was wickedly delicious, and I could feel those powerful antioxidants hard at work fighting free radicals in my body. We mustn't have any free radicals, now must we? Our friend's home has high ceilings with very large art, which I tried to show in this photo without making me too tiny! Here I am sipping a nice refreshing beverage to start off the evening. You can see that this was a very spontaneous photo, not posed at all ;-)
above: the round dinner table was set for eight with these fun place cards...
above left: My poker chip set...I got right down to business. above right: I bought some new cards in London at Harrod's. They have British Monarchs on them, which was fun. Since we are a group of eight, we play with four decks.
above: the game got underway and soon we were focused on those precious chips....ah how I love the chips. Unfortunately I didn't win a single hand. No matter, a good time was had by all.
