Yesterday was my friend Barb's 50th birthday. She and her husband put on a blow out party for the occasion. I took a friend with me as I am usually shy in large groups of people who I don't know, but didn't have to worry with this crowd. It was a great time, met new people and listened to a band they had hired. These people know how to put on a party. The food was delicious, as usual. There was grilled chicken and ribs..the best tasting ribs I have ever had (heard many similar comments), potato salad, beans..just down home grub. Greg shared that the ribs were glazed with a combination of reduced cherry coke and cherry preserves, yum. I had planned to stay an hour or so, but ended up enjoying four hours of party. Moral of story, stretch yourself, it usually is worth it!
For Barb's gift, I made her a birthday book, a chronicle of our friendship, along with the others who are in the same quilt group. I think it turned out quite well. True to form, I finished the book an hour before I had to leave for the event, lol. Of course I have to share pics of the book...... Happy Crafting!
