Tuesday October 6, 2009

 Mark and Diane enjoyed greeting friends as they stopped in – 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. – for the celebration.

This was a gift we (our Pennsylvania women and girls) made at The Pottery Barn several weeks earlier on our “Girl’s Day Out.” 

 They liked the “Money Salad” our family gave them.

 A really cute gift from their friends Mark and Deb

 The snack table

Our granddaughters made delicious mini sandwiches:  homemade rolls filled with ham and cheese or turkey and cheese.  If I remember correctly they brushed a sweet/sour mixture on top, before baking them.

 They used pretzel sticks for picking up meat balls.

 Parties are always a great time to visit with friends.
