Coffee Group


We had our first “coffee” with our new battalion commanders today. She is super nice and gorgeous to boot! I am convinced the higher up in rank an officer/soldier gets, the more attractive his or her spouse becomes.

Maybe there is hope for me yet =)

I have been to several “coffees,” but I have yet to attend one that actually serves coffee! I mean, the name of the gathering implies coffee will be served for crying out loud. They should just change the name to social gathering to avoid further confusion.

Stacey put together a rather nice salad bar tablescape, and even though she wasn’t 100 percent satisfied with her spread, I thought it was awesome and so pretty!

She laid a burlap cloth over some overturned bowls to give her spread some height and movement and she filled different sized bowls with various salad accoutrements. To keep with the island theme, she used white starfish to fill in any gaps.

Only Stacey could make a salad bar fancy =)

Since she has twin girls, this gathering was kid friendly, but it was more like baby friendly because all lil ones were roughly the same age, under 12 months. Oddly enough, all the bambinos had blue eyes!
