When I pulled up to the front I was thinking this is the sort of house that mixes all of my favorite things. The setting, the cottage like feel, the FrontGate-esque decor, the landscaping is so beautiful and the lot us on a point facing the Tennessee River and a slew.
I was invited by Luanne Winn and so were 7 other women, all are in the Junior Auxiliary of Cleveland. They were all moms except me and one other girl. 18 children between 6 of them. They deserved this night. I am just lucky to be included. So, we all trickled in while the host, Beverly, served shrimp cocktail and this awesome pimento cheese dip. She had these special drinks called cross-eyed bullfrogs. They were deelish.
You know I had to take a picture. Some bullfrogs were better looking than mine and some were made with olives rather than the cherry and lime on toothpicks.
We lounged on one of the docks and chatted then were served a wonderful meal and took a sunset cruise on their boat followed by dessert and coffee. Here is Jennifer ams Luanne on the boat:
And the sunset:
We hung out in and beside the pool under the stars before finally bunking up for the night. In the morning Brittany and I were the first up for coffee and sat on the dock while the others got up. Here is a sunrise shot from where we sat.
Brittany and I sat put there and talked while watching the birds dive, fish jump, and even saw a couple of turtles(my fave:).
While breakfast quiche, fruit and drinks were served, we had a crew from berrywood spa come and we each got a mani, pedi, and massage. It was so nice. While we all rotated through the services we laid out and it was just so relaxing. Nobody wanted to leave! I am so glad I got to enjoy such am awesome time with such great women:) xoxo
