In spite of the incredibly hot, muggy weather the Longaberger/Birthday parties went wonderfully well. Well, for the most part it did. My party helper, Tanya stopped and picked up balloons for the birthday girl. I tied them to the chalk board on the front porch then quickly ran off the rescue the mail man at the curb. As I jogged back up to the porch I watched the balloons lift off into space! OMG, I'm running after them telling them to stop, really, I mean really do I think balloons can hear? And if they could how are balloons filled with helium going to come down? Oh wow, if this is a sign of how the day is going to go I'm in deep dodo. Fear not, after a rocky start the rest of the day was great!

| Here we all are, filled to the brim with food, cake and laughter. Such a great group of ladies. A final thought, as I looked at this picture I just have to giggle. The sign on the bookcase reads "Simplify" ... there is absolutely nothing in this house that is simplified! I have great intentions ... does that count? |
I had a wonderful time! One of the best birthday parties ever! Thank you so much to everyone! It was so nice to see everyone dressed in pink. 3 more days to go!
