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...
I wish I was of more help regarding the stain on the stair railing but I've literally only stained one thing in my life and that was in high school for a shop project. Come to think of it I'm amazed I didn't burn the house down because I am sure I never knew you had to properly dispose of rags with oil based stain due to spontaneous combustion. The things you learn later in life - sometimes too late.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys got away! That is awesome. It was a pretty good week here, no big stories, which is a relief after several weeks of angst. I have grocery shopping after I finish work, and washing the bedding. I was happy to get the regular laundry done yesterday so my weekend is free of that. Usual house stuff for the weekend and church on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys have a good weekend and the railing cooperates with your plan C!!!
