"By Invitation Only" for NOVEMBER, A Fantasy Dinner Party

International Blog Party
we are a bit off schedule because of the holiday season's arrival,
& we wanted to celebrate along with all of our readers....
so...
the fearless leader thought it would be FUN to once again host a
FANTASY DINNER PARTY !!!
there were ONLY 2 rules...
cannot invite anyone in your own family, except your partner, of course,
& we cannot invite Jesus (that's just too easy, isn't it?)
so, we are to invite TEN 10 INDIVIDUALS,
living or dead,
real or fantasy.
for me, there are 2 people who are always invited, they are at every table I set because they would add so much to the conversation, I think, and they are iconic figures...
this year some of the invitees are quite different than they were 4-5 years ago when we did
this same post.  of course, they would be different as so much has happened.
but, each one of them is much admired and invited because they each bring something
different to the table.
MATT DAMON
AMAL CLOONEY
MICHAEL WEISS (political commentator)
OLIVIA POPE
FRANCOIS HOLLANDE
GRACE CODDINGTON
CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW
JANE FONDA
MARK CUBAN
TINA (of the Enchanted Home)
BOB DYLAN (always)
KING ARTHUR (always)
I would have invited Peter O'Toole also,
can you even imagine a more gifted conversationalist?
& look up Michael Weiss, he's brilliant.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE !!!
I'm in the hill country of Texas with my daughter, Vanessa, & her family for a few days.
My little grandson, Colt Harris is a little over 2 years & he's a complete pistol!!!
So we have 5 dogs, 2 2-year olds, and the adults for an early Thanksgiving.
They are all going out of town to visit faraway family members & I'll be back in
Houston to Thanksgiving AGAIN with my friends & family there.
love to all

    I think I would have to include Sean Connery as well. You all know how very interesting he is.

    Francois Hollande? Why him? I heard he is a good conversationalist, but I don't think this is the reason you chosed him.

    Interesting list. I'd add Gloria Steinem and Winston Churchill. Just because.

    The conversation with those quests will not be boring. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I did. Renee
    had me over , her table was so elegant. Maine People do not do elegant. I felt so at home. The food was great and her stuffing was the way I make it. The weather was mild in the mid 50's that alone is something to be grateful for.
    May you have a wonderful Holiday Season and be well and Happy ..Yvonne

    Just loved this fantasy dinner party. Few days back had arranged a dinner party at one of venues in Chicago. It was really awesome. Had hired best chefs who prepared delicious food. All attendees loved and enjoyed the day.

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
