Pickleball @ Mini CCC

Mini CCC

Pickleball has come to CCC. How fun! Now I need to order miniature pickleball paddles. Paddles have a solid, flat surface with no strings attached. Pickleball utilizes these. 

Rackets (or racquets) have an open frame that holds a network of tightly stretched strings. Examples include tennis and badminton.

Etsy is a great source for such things.

Setting the Red, White & Blue Table

Carolyne Roehm

This is such lovely inspiration for setting the summer or Fourth of July table with red, white, and blue without being kitschy. Red and white parrot tulips, fresh strawberries, blue and white splatterware, and blue and white flatware. Linens include a red and white tablecloth and blue and white napkins. Colored glassware like these blue ones have become very popular.

Stump the Band

Chefanie Hamptons Stargazer Cocktail Napkins

 

Do any of you remember the Stump the Band segment on Johnny Carson where an audience member would come up with the title of an obscure song and see if Carson or Ed McMahon or the band could come up with the song?
