Le Pique Nique

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.” – C.S. Lewis

These girls make life so much more interesting. They each have their own unique quirks and personalities – and I just love them to bits! Thank you for being such amazing friends!

Teri’s Mom’s good friend, Uncle Arthur decided to lavishly treat us to a lovely afternoon’s picnic at the beautiful Boschendal. It was a gorgeous hot summer afternoon in December, where we enjoyed some much needed girl-time. We also had cause to celebrate as just days before that Terri-Sue got engaged to her prince, Lyle. We then proceeded to toast to TSue’s marriage and to friendship. We really are like the traveling pants friends :)

We indulged in a delicious 3-course lunch at the very popular ‘Le Pique Nique’ on the famous Pavillion lawns. We started off with brie cheese & onion compote, then enjoyed  delicious chicken and garden salads and a fresh baguette before savoring a very rich and scrumptious chocolate brownie.

We were totally immersed in conversation surrounded by some pretty breathtaking beauty of the nearby mountains and vineyards. See Boschendal’s website for more info on their fabulous picnics.

Here are some of my favorites from the day.

  1. And we missed our darling friend Teri-Lee who is living in Australia. But we were thinking of you lots. Hope you enjoy the pics. I know you’ll have just as much fun on your next trip to CT that’s coming up shortly :) xoxo
