Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
Great weekend! It was a good way to send off August and celebrate birthdays while still getting in some exercise too. Everyone should get the recipe for those sandwiches you made. Those were amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes it was. I wasn't sure how much to expect to burn but was happy with it especially to help counterbalance birthday treats. The sandwiches were pretty good and glad I grilled the other half the next day. Yum!
DeleteMy weekend was nothing like that. Groceries, grading and housework. Pretty much par for the school year course. I am getting out of town next weekend - heading out for a cabin camping weekend with the boy and my folks. Definitely looking forward to that.
ReplyDeleteAnticipation will get you through this week! :-)
DeleteMy weekend was your anti-weekend. LOL. I was sick with strep, drank too much booze and laid around. Good stuff. ha!
ReplyDeleteUgh, that doesn't sound so fun! Hopefully you can make up for it this weekend! Hope you feel better soon!
DeleteI had a great weekend. My brother-in-law's retirement party on Saturday, then Sunday brother and sister-in-law came to town. Had dinner waiting for them when they arrived. Great visit and talked til all hours with my sil. Up early to golf on Monday morning then cooked out before they left. Finished Monday by catching up on my latest guilty pleasure garbage TV bachelor in paradise while dozing on and off in my lazygirl.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend and I love that you call it a lazygirl! HA!
DeleteI've been reading your blog for quite a while, just love how you write, you are a hoot! Just wanting to get some recommendations on Kauai, we are going next year and would love any ideas you could provide. Would you be able to post or respond to me? Can I send an email to you directly? Thanks!
