Dad's 60th Birthday Celebration

I am planning a 60th Birthday Celebration for both my parents this year.  They are divorsed so a combined celebration just won't do.  My father's big day is in June. The plan is to celebrate with 60ish of our family and his friends. I am sure the number will be much higher than that since my family loooooves a good party. The celebration will take place in beautiful historic Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Venue and color inspirations to come!!!

Super Bowl XLV

I really wanted the Atlanta Falcons to go to the Super Bowl but we just could not make it happen.  So we will just have to root for one of these teams!!!!  I'm sure I'll host a SB Party for my honey and his friends.

Don't Weight Around

I know that I have not posted in a while {about anything} but I just had to let you guys know that I have lost 28.7 pounds in 8 weeks and I am so happy.  This is just the beginning. I want to drop about 60 more and maintain.  If you are planning to drop a few pounds, start small and before you know it you will be on your way. Take the first step...You owe it to yourself!!!!

One Year Later

The hubby and I spent our 1 year Anniversary in St. Augustine.  We took the time to relax and enjoy each other and learn a little history about the Oldest City. Here are a few pics

Birthday Recap-Food

I initially planned a fancy menu for my party on Saturday. I also had planned to have a cookout on Sunday in honor of Memorial Day. However, my family planned to leave for home Sunday morning instead of Monday so I changed my menu a bit. My menu theme changed to one that was more casual...one that lended itself to both my birthday and Memorial Day. Mom's cooking is always welcome in my kitchen!!! We had Southern Fried Corn, Beef Ribs, Pork Ribs, Chicken, Potato Salad, Garden Salad with all the fix-ins ,Mac and Cheese, Fresh Squeeze lemonade and Sweet Tea. It was delicious !!!!!

Birthday Recap-Table Scapes

As I said before, my birthday party was for a small number of individuals. I wanted to share this day with those very dear to my heart. Here are a few pictures of the table scapes.
