Some of my dear precious readers ask me for menus from our parties.  I aim to please – drum roll please.  This is the menu for Stephanie’s Art Deco Wedding Shower.  Perhaps you can say, we were “Putting on the Ritz.” Sweet Mother of Pearl.  Pat’s dining room table was filled with pretty and delicious […]

Art Deco Wedding Shower

Posted on: Oct 18, 2013        In: Gatherings        With: No comments
As mentioned in a previous post, the Bride to Be – The Lovely Stephanie – likes Art Deco.  That was the beginning of our thinking.  Also her beloved groom – Ken –  is of Chinese decent, and they are incorporating some of those elements into their wedding.  So naturally, we wanted to honor that also.

Weddings are such special times, and the major excitement around here this fall has been Stephanie’s wedding.  Sweet Mother of Pearl!  All of the ladies of the Living Stones Bible Fellowship have been excited. (Understatement!)  As one of the ladies mentioned, “This is the wedding of the century.”   As far as we are concerned, […]

Who is Dr. Who?  Honestly, I had heard of Dr. Who, but had no idea of who or what he was.  So I looked it up (I love to Google).  This is what I learned. Doctor Who is a British science-fiction television programme produced by the BBC. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time […]

Baby Shower Menu

Yes, there was food. Probably you would be correct to say, “There was too much food.  You really do NOT need all that much food.”  But….  How do I explain this to you. A skimpy table can not be abided. Running out of food at a party is a not a good thing – Just […]

Lamb Theme Twins Baby Shower

Twins – Yes, Seth and Jessica are expecting twins.  This is about the most excitement we have had for some time. Lambs decorate the twin’s nursery.  Love that – To me it says soft, cuddly, and watched over by The Good Shepherd.  We wanted to the shower to have a lamb theme. Your truly scoured the […]

Drum roll, please.  (I do like drum rolls.) It was a celebration honoring Aunt Lois who is 101 years young.  Yes, that is one hundred plus one. (We learned expanded notation in second grade.)  AND she is doing well – Thank you very much.  Oh, she has her problems – eyesight extremely bad, hearing not […]

Suzanne and Leslie invited the group to their home after our Friday night dinner.  It is unbelievable all they did for our 50th Class Reunion.  Not only were they in charge of planing the entire reunion, but they also had a gathering in their home, and provided Tortilla Roll-Ups for a gathering on Saturday afternoon. […]

Let Freedom Ring

Happy Independence Day.  Bang, Bang, Boom!  I love this holiday. I met Ever-Lovin’ on July 4th in Palo Dura Canyon.  I am not sure it was even a blind date – we were both tagging along with mutual friends.  That being said – this has always been a favorite holiday for us, and we enjoy […]
