white memories....

a repost...

Today's white 


is a trip down memory lane


of

my miss g's (now mrs. g) 16th birthday party.

It was quite the production.

We My Mr. built 

the make-shift structure

just for this.

We had to *hang* a chandelier, you know.

An evening dinner party

on the lawn

Her sisters

and

 friends


 she had grown up with were invited.

Can you tell?

She is a detail person (like me).

We had so much fun working on this together.






The menu :

Homemade Bread sticks

Green Salad with Italian Vinaigrette

Chicken Parmesan

Penne with Alfredo sauce

Chilled Lemon Souffle'

Chocolate Truffle Tart

Fresh Raspberries

All from scratch

all by herself

Every year for her birthday

She would have *teaparties*

Pretty dishes and yummy food.

She is her mama's girl.

oh, how I miss those teaparties.

today's note:

your comments and concerns 

for my last post really did make me smile

I don't for a minute think I'm going to get it all done.

I am a list girl.

I figure if you don't aim at something, you'll never hit it.

the list is  my attempt 

to live on purpose

to slow down

to make people be first

to reclaim my home

many of the items are things that I haven't done in years

ever since I started the business

it has literally been years since I've had tea on my porch

to me, this list is a good thing.
