It took a lot of work to make our party happen last Saturday…and this woman did a major portion of the work. She is kitchen wizard who made all the food for the party….
and her presentation of the food . . .
. . . was aaahhhhhhmazing.
. . . it tasted even better than it looked,
if you can believe that!
. . . moments before guests arrive . . . the food appears
. . .and the tables start to “fill up”
. . . later in the evening, the music started
. . . and the dance lessons
. . .and the dancing
. . .and more line dance lessons . . .
. . . and our two worlds met . . .
Dave — one of our newer friends meets
Ed, a friend for over 30 years! (yikes)

It makes me very nervous naming people who helped — because I am sure I left some people out. I’m not doing it intentionally — it’s late….and well, I’m 50!
