Oh what a wonderful day. I presented a Longaberger party today for a long time customer, Barb. Along with the party we also celebrated her mom Jewel's 93 birthday.
Isn't she just precious! Jewel is a sharp as a tack, perfect hearing and an amazing sense of humor. She loves a party .... especially when they are for her. She is holding a Mary Jane candy, these are very old school and hard to chew! Since they are one of Jewels all time favorites Barb had them on every table, no way could I chew on one, I'd pull the fillings right out of my teeth! Both ladies loves flowers, vegetable gardens, wild birds and their back yard. IT was just a perfectly beautiful Spring day, perfect for a Longaberger garden party!

| May is Americana month for the Longaberger Co. Just last Monday Longaberger announced the return of Woven Traditions pottery being made in America ... what a perfect time to celebrate the Red, White and Blue! |

| Barb set an Americana table ... |
We served Chicken Divan, Olive bread and a delicious Strawberry - Spinach salad ... oh so yummy. Pictured are Jeannie - Barb;s daughter, Barb and her sister Janice who is visiting from N. Carolina. Her accent and "southern" sayings are a hoot!
Look at Jewel go!! She had no trouble blowing out her candles. I made her favorite cake - a spice cake with cream cheese icing. I baked it in the new Longaberger Flameware Braiser, it came out absolutely beautiful. The entire cake came clean out of the pan, our new cookware is so awesome!

| As a special treat Janice and Barb made everyone a bag of home made Carmel corn! Oh my, it was the best I have ever had! |
Barb's husband Harry even got in on the celebration. He used his computer skills to make these tags to tie on each bag of Carmel corn, so cute!
 |
| Three generations of Nickson women ... Barb, Jeannie, Jewel and Janice. These ladies absolutely adore their mom and grandmother. With the care they give her I expect Jewel will be here well into her century mark! |

| My favorite picture! Jewel got the giggles and we were lucky enough to catch it all on film! Happy 93 Birthday to a very special lady! |
