burma rising

On Saturday,

we attended

Burma Rising

at the home of

Joan and George Hornig.

The Hornigs are known for their

extradordinary sense of 

philanthropy.

In fact,
100% of the profits of
Joan Hornig Jewelry
go to the charity of
Your
choice.

This event was to benefit the

Cetana Educational Foundation.

The night was filled

with glamorous individuals,

Burmese Art 

and auction items,

as well as a

specialty cocktail,

Wolffer wine,
and Burmese cuisine.

We listened to speeches about the

foundation and the need for education

in Burma.

Joan is the stunning lady in the red dress.

We were treated to an exhibit

of a traditional

Burmese dance.

This guy stood in front of me,

but I didn't mind...
really.

The night was perfect

and we were encouraged to explore

the grounds.

They were exquisite.

We fell in love with the porches

on the guest houses,

as any true southerners would.

We adored the rose garden,

this serene arbor,

the sunken tennis courts,

this soothing fountain,

and the verdant landscape.

The whole event was marvelous

and so were the people.

However,
the highlight

of my evening
was dinner

on the terrace

After
the party...
