April garden party
Comments (77)Thank you everyone that came to the party and made it so successful, we had a great time! I cannot wait to our next garden party. Thanks to all the generous gardeners that came and share the plants with us, M&J, thank you for all your great job bringing such a big amount of plants to us, you have no idea how happy you made us, I hope that one day we can contribute to your generosity. Thank you Kara for bringing all those plants with you! So many people that I have to thank... and it was great to meet you Laurie! I hope that you arrive home safe and all the other friends that were traveling long distance. Our Tampa friends especial thanks, Derek, Aaron and Barbie. Larry and Doug, big thanks for all the help in the swap, you guys were great!!! Bridget, it was nice to meet you and hubby and the other Sylvia too.:) All the guests rock! we just had a great party! I was waiting for the pictures that Cheryl took so you all can see them. Silvia Here is a link that might be useful: garden party...See MoreWhat have you been *Late to the party* for?
Comments (55)Used to be an early adopter on most things, including tech and fashion (lived in NYC as a single person), but have turned into a luddite slug wrt anything but a few areas. pesky, you're behind the times with a big-screen that doesn't hang on the wall? LOL we still have our 1993 27" Toshiba CRT tv as our only one! We periodically shop for a larger new tv but we just can't seem to get rid of this one since it still works. Would be a shame to waste it. We figure when it dies, we'll get whatever is best (within our price range) then, as we did back in 1993. Don't think the new item will last as long, though :( -- that's what ticks us off about buying new technology these days. Funny thing: I got a DroidX the day it came out (replacing years of free craigslist phones). I was looking at it one day recently at the gas station, trying to navigate my little corner of it, and the gas station attendant came up excitedly -- he'd just gotten a DroidX the day before and had it *completely* customized -- he'd downloaded wallpaper, put tons of music on it, had each home page completely arranged and connected the way he wanted it...his excitement at encountering a fellow Droid owner turned to disgust when he saw that I use *one* home page and only the very basics there......See MoreHaving a party. Your thoughts please. Games?
Comments (24)Here's the status. Party is in 3 days and I am nervous. It's morphed into a surprise party. Karaoke or games or what? Up in the air. Costco-will roast tenderloin, perhaps on the grill, slice and refrigerate. Flowers from Costco. Caesar salads from Costco. Bought 4 meat and 1 veggie lasagnas from Gordon Food Service. I would like to doctor them up with meat sauce and gobs of extra cheese (which I bought). Dessert. Ordered a pretty and delicious cake from Dairy Queen. Hopefully it will be enjoyed by all. I made one tray of lemon squares and will make another tray in the morning. A sweet cousin my make some cookie bars. I'll get a traveler coffee from Starbucks-easy. Pick up wine, juice, water, sodas. Still need to hang and rehang lots of pictures, long story, and polish flatware and ice bucket. Thirty dinner plates are washed. Cleaned the front door area and leaves are gone. Need possible paper goods. Very tired! Thanks for all your help. Likely I will make either flourless choc cake or nut torte. Have 3 kinds of cheeses, crackers and pretzels and mixed nuts for nibbles while we all wait. Prolly will add more stuff. I'd rather fuss with flowers, decor, baskets and fabric liners, etc. I think dil will like it....See MoreLet the Party Begin! xoxoxoxoxoxox
Comments (82)Anyanka, I know Cardiff & Penarth, of course - not far from here. We're all a bit temperamental, so your ex is not a-typical. And you weren't indelicate at all - thanks for anwering. Cindy, We can eat leeks, of course (in Henry V, Fluellen makes the Englishman eat one raw!). Then, having a lot of the west coast all to ourselves (and lovely it is), we have a lot of fish - particularly shellfish, like cockles. Then, there's a seaweed called 'laverbread' which those of us brought up on tend to love, fried with bacon and eggs (and others tell me they would like to use as a substitute for tarring roads.....). Our lamb is delectable: 'The mountain sheep are sweeter 'But the valley sheep are fatter, 'We therefore deemed it meeter 'To carry off the latter' (War song of the Dinas Fawr) (Peacock, I think) Welsh 'black' beef is sold in the best restaurants. Welshcakes (griddlecakes) like what Gran (Mamgu) made are always lying around, waiting to be picked at, likewise Bara Brith - literally 'sweet bread' Chips are sold everywhere - there's quite a lot of overweightness (I just coined that word) around. But we are very cosmopolitan and like to try new things all the time. Fairly recently, we have started distilling a tasty whisky called 'Penderyn', but it's very expensive. Vee has mentioned 'Brains' beer.... Pam, We are going to Llandudno next weekend for a conference with the Welsh Acadamy (Yr Academi). For the last two years, the conferences have been held there. It's a lovely place, on the north Wales coast. Most of the buildings on the sea front are Regency: walk out on to the pier and look back at the town - it shines white and very beautiful. A bit like Brighton (the best bits) but on a smaller scale. Not much Welsh spoken there (except at the conference) because it's quite near Liverpool and a favourite with our English friends. And we love poetry. Swansea Borough Council refuse-collection vehicles are the only ones I have ever seen anywhere with lines of poetry on them - mainly Dylan Thomas, of course. "Here come the 'Boys of summer' ", I say, when I see them jumping out of their vans and emptying the wayside bins along the seashore...... I'm looking forward to the St. David's Day thrash. With luck, we might have won another rugby match before then (we beat Scotland last week, but, alas, were beaten by the dreaded English (Sais) the week before) I'm training up Grendal (who is half dragon, by the way, and half something unmentionable) to behave in a courtly fashion to you all when you arrive. My word for you will be: 'Croeso!' - 'Welcome!' Dido...See MoreJasdip
