It used to be that when you said someone was the “Lady of the House” that she was a madame or high end escort. For me, it means a woman who is proper and knows how to manage her home. Kind of like the queen and her castle. The emphasis is on the word lady. I was brought up in a proper and traditional household where manners and the social graces were important and we were tested on them all the time. Men were men and women were women. We cooked, washed, cleaned and made sure that everyone in the house was well taken care of. Now that I am older, I thought I’d treat you to some of that traditional hospitality. Come on in, make yourself comfortable.

I really do love to entertain and hold a nice dinner party almost every other month for friends. We are not talking about a catered meal or a BBQed grill meal in the backyard (that’s my husband’s domain). We’re talking about a nice home cooked dinner party by me. The invitations are out and you are invited. Please no gifts. Just bring your lovely self . Oh, and be on time. I hate when people are “fashionably late”.
