Friday's Festivities...

I had a short day at work, since I took the afternoon off for my friend's birthday party.  I did get a good bit accomplished in four hours, though!  That felt good.  It also felt good starting my weekend early!  LOL

Heather and Terry (the other Terry) couldn't join us, so it was just Cindee, Melody and me at Shirley's house.  Mel's birthday was last week, but that didn't keep us from enjoying a wonderful lunch of homemade lasagna, a yummy salad, cheese and fruit, and homemade cake and ice cream!  Oh - almost forgot - wine!

We spent about three hours talking, laughing and catching up on kids and grandkids.  It was a great afternoon.

Joe and I are going to the opening exhibit at Gallery 2125, which is here in town.  Mike and Mary Ellen reminded us of it last night, so we thought we would pop in for awhile, and then go to dinner.  We'll be leaving in a few minutes, actually.

Nothing special planned for the weekend, except the usual - cleaning and laundry.  Who knows where we might find ourselves!  Wishing you a good weekend!  I'll leave you with pictures from the birthday fun!  Peace, love & hugs!

This last picture is really for my friend, Linda.  Shirley's colorful stemware made me think of yours!  Her's is from Germany, dating back to World War II.  Her father had them sent to the USA from Germany.

    1. You stay safe, too, Lyn. You're closer to it than we are. If it gets too bad over there, we have a nice guest room, and you are welcome to evacuate to Lakeland. Seriously.

    1. I'm going to have to learn to review my comments or learn to type or both. Here's the message I meant to post:

      Good company, good food and good wine make a superb combination. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. I'll bet cute little Babe was excited. I can't wait to see my sister's animals and human family too. Have a good weekend.

  8. What a lovely birthday lunch you and your friends had for Melody! I can't get over how much the stemware looks like the ones that Linda has! How was the art exhibit? Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
