Last week, I *helped* my friend Karlynn at her excuse to buy more Pyrex garage sale, and while *helping* her drink sangria, we made plans to go to my friend Janelle’s for the Farm to Table dinner put on by RGE RD.  And so it came to pass that Karlynn and I headed out for an amazing Sunday evening!

Made it through the photo shoot in these silver shoes then changed and good thing I did…
Even with more sensible shoes, I ended up with some impressive edema... It's not every day you read that on a fashion blog.

The day seemed destined for rain, but it never happened. Such a gorgeous evening!

See what I mean!

The food was simply amazing!  By course:

Do you feel hungry now?  #sorrynotsorry All of these exquisite dishes were made from Janelle’s veggies and other locally sourced ingredients.

And then, at the end of the amazing meal, Karlynn and I tried to get a cab back to Whyte Ave.  We were about to give up when Blair gave us a lift up the hill and down the… range road…to flag down the taxi.

We did find our cab and we did get home safely and we did have the best time!  Thank you Janelle and Aaron, thank you RGE RD and thank you Karlynn for a wonderful night!
