John and Helen live downstairs from us. They are non-traditional students studying painting, drawing and printmaking at SCAD. They are older than the average students--by quite a few years and so much fun. They are both light hearted and extroverted--interested in art and meeting people and traveling. Plus, it is refreshing to spend time with them because they don't have time for insecurities like the average young student (cough cough, such as myself). A few weeks ago, John, Helen, Sherin and I spent the day driving around to various towns and completing errands. We decided to throw an impromptu dinner party. We picked up steak to grill and veggies, bread and dessert.
We invited a few friends over, including several professors. It turned out to be a delightful evening. Everyone got a break from the cafeteria. We ate outside on one of the terraces overlooking the Luberon Valley--good conversation, tasty food, GREAT times. I really enjoy dinner parties. We are planning to have another one tomorrow night. C'est tres bonne!
John and Helen rented a car for the duration of their stay in France, so they explore France more on their own. Unfortunately, they have been without the car for the past two weeks as it was broken into. They are waiting for repairs to be made.
Part of our dessert--figs & almonds
Grilling asparagus...mmmmm
Fresh, local lettuce--c'est jolie.

I love these photos of the dinner party fare, and the story about your neighbors. Thanks for sharing!
Your mom, who loves you
Aww, wounds like a great time. A dinner party on a castle terrace overlooking a Frech valley... Lovely, simply lovely.
