~ Saturday SHHHhhh ~
LOL, ok so now I can tell you :) My nieces put on a surprise party for my sister (their Mother) this evening. She does visit on occasion and I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag. The party was held at my Mom's house and started about 7. They went for dinner and then just 'stopped' by. She ran into the house and didn't even notice there were folks in the backyard. When she came out she was shocked. Tears in her eyes, 'you got me.' Tears in my eyes as I watched her reaction, her smiles. Family and a few close friends were there. Nothing huge, just a little gathering to celebrate life, to celebrate her! There were strict instructions of 'no gifts!' I didn't listen, I gave her mine on Tuesday when I took her her shake. :::giggle::: I got around that one didn't I? Well, everyone did because no one listened! LOL :::sticking tongue out at her husband:::
The day was hot and sticky but threats of rain loomed. Right as we were gathering at my parents the wind picked up and dark black clouds filled the sky. They were moving rather fast and we all just whispered 'blow over.' It did and the night was perfect. It cooled down and it was just perfect for sitting outside with great company. The, snacks, and drinks rounded out the evening. Taco dip, cold veggie pizza, bread dip, and your normal cheese/crackers and chips. Beer, pop, ice tea, and frozen Margaritas. Yummy and refreshing!!!
Because of the shadows on the patio most of the pictures are a bit dark. The ones that did come out I was asked not to post. LOL Like my sister sticking her tongue out at me. There is a bit of a story.......
my niece bought the cake and dropped it at my parents earlier in the day. She found the perfect cake, the perfect size in the freezer section of the store. She was looking there because she wanted ice cream, it appeared to be an ice cream cake. So off it went into my Mom's freezer. They brought it out with candle lit. We sang and laughed. Then laughed harder as they cut the cake. It was not ice cream at all! Apparently someone at the store had it, then decided on something else so they put it in the freezer case with the others. I hate that!! How many times have you shopped only to find meat on a shelf in the bread aisle? GRRRR The laughter got louder when folks had their lips and tongue turn blue from the decorations on the frosting. Hers, was a vibrant blue that almost glowed in the dim night. Won't she be proud when she sees that in her in box. LOL Happy Birthday Seester I love you!
From my parents yard I was able to get shots of the evening sky. The sun casting a glow through the clouds. These do not do the live version justice, but I thought I'd share anyway. I hope everyone had a great Saturday! I did, and now I'm off to bed.
Hugs
