Happy Cinco de Mayo! I had every intention of hosting a dinner party for friends alfresco. Unfortunately I had to cancel due to a injury. I was working in the yard, actually by the new waterfall when I attempted to hang a heavy flower basket on a hook. As I lifted and reached, I heard something pop! Wow, pain set in and I hobbled into the house.
I am not sure what it is exactly. I have actually have pain in the butt, lower left side and upper back of my thigh. I have been living with a heating pad for days. I went to the doctor today and the doctor is not quite sure what is injured. A tendon or muscle. Time will tell. So sorry to disappoint. I re-schedule my dinner party when I am better.

I set this table up in the breakfast room a few years back/ I love all of the colors, so bright and festive.

My husband always makes this Sangria recipe. Sangria Sangria. It has over 1,212 reviews with 4.8 rating.
Yummy Chicken Enchiladas from Tyler Florance.
Fiesta off the study with a margarita and chips with quacamole.
I am sharing some fun recipes I have made. I made cookie bowls and homemade strawberry ice cream. The cookie bowls
were created from my mini bundt cake pan. I just turned it over and
sprayed pam and laid the cookie dough circles on each bundt. Just use
your basic cookie dough recipe or change it up with flavors or mini
chocolate chips.
This morning I whipped up some. If you enjoy churros, you will love the flavor or this tacos shells. Feel free to use corn or flour tortillas. They are coated with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Yumm!

So sorry about your mishap, Linda! Hopefully it's not serious and you'll be back to creating and having your fabulous parties real soon! I always love seeing all your beautiful tablescapes and settings - both past and current! Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gail. I hope it isn’t serious either. The weather has been chilly and rainy this week, so I don’t feel bad about not being able to garden. I hope time heals it. Happy weekend.
DeleteSounds like sciatica to me. Having just gotten over it, I don’t envy you. Sorry about your party. I’m sure it would’ve been fabulous. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteIt may be sciatica, the doctor wasn’t sure. Sorry you were dealing with it, it can be quite painful. Thank you. There will be more days to party.
DeleteTake care.. I hate injuries like that and want them gone..One of my football grandsons..is sooo good at it.. lots of things line up for him..he broke his fibula yesterday.. cast etc..Im sad for him..Because he is:( Take care and don't overdo it..You've set enough tables to last you during your recovery and more.:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Monique, I want it gone too, I have more gardens to trim. So sorry to hear about your grandson. Football can be so brutal for injuries. I hope he heals quickly. Happy weekend.
DeleteOh Linda so sorry about your injury. I hope that starts to feel better. Your table looks beautiful and the food choices yummy. Take care. Here's the nurse in me!!!! Ice for pain and then alternate heat for healing. Heat brings blood and lowers inflammation and ice relieves pain. Alternating should help. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteThank you Kris, I appreciate your nursing advice. I shall try alternating between heat and ice. Hopefully this heals quickly, I have work to do. Hugs 🤗
DeleteOh no Linda, ouch, so sorry! I know you're disappointed {and your guests too!} that you couldn't have your party, but thank you for showing ideas from the past, your tablescapes are always Amazing! I love those cookie bowls too, what a clever idea! I hope you're feeling better soon~
ReplyDelete❤️ Jenna
Thank you Jenna, it was disappointing, however famous last words, “ It is what it is.” Time heals all. Happy Cinco de Mayo.❤️
DeleteSorry to hear about your injury -- sounds so painful. I hope it eases up for you soon. All your desserts look so delicious, and your husband's sangria -- wow! I got absolutely hammered on sangria once when I was in university and never drank it again, but I would be tempted by that glassful!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Debra. I am also hoping for a quick recovery. Do try sangria again, a little at a time…lol
DeleteOooh Linda, I’m so very sorry about your injury. That sounds just awful! I hope that you’ll recover quickly. Thank you for sharing all your recipes and tables with us. Rest well, lovely Linda. 😘😘🤗🤗
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I hope they can find out just what went amiss and get it straightened out quickly. I know how much that kind of pain not only hurts and inhibits your activity but also just affects your own mind... at least, it does me. But you always have the best ideas, Linda. And I'm sure when you party is rescheduled all your friends will love it. And a party like this doesn't need to be May 5 -- any day would be wonderful. Please take care and I hope you are much better and soon.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am so sorry to hear that you hurt yourself hanging the flowers. I do hope you are feeling better. I love all of your ideas for cinco de mayo. I hope you have a nice week.
