WooHoo...it was a huge success!

Today I had 16 wonderful widowed ladies come to my home for my GALentine’s Brunch and we ate, laughed, shared memories and enjoyed each other’s company! I hope they all felt that, although none of us still have our husbands here with us anymore, they are still loved. Since I have severe hand tremors, with the help of some of those who accept my handicap, I managed to prepare and serve fried potato/ sausage/cheese casserole, spinach quiche, sheet pan French toast, baked cheese sandwich casserole, bran/banana muffins, cherry turnovers, yogurt/fruit parfaits, cranberry/strawberry drink and coffee. They must have left full because there wasn’t much left over! ♥️
