It is not often that my brother takes a day off. He works hard for Wonder Bread. So imagine my surprise when he suggested a market to me, it was on a day I had free AND he could go too! The bad news is that his co-worker gave him some bad information. We woke up at 1:30 am to get to the market to ensure we got a prime spot. Unfortunately, no one else showed up until 4:45--so we were plenty early. The market turned out to be a snoozer, but, Jeff and I had fun.
My parents are still planning the big 50th Wedding Anniversary party. Mom and I went to check out cakes at the local stores and I came away with this little guy. We HAD to test the cake, right?! Besides, I LOVE crabbies...more so when one of the Deadliest Catch guys is attached to them, but, a big blob of frosting works too I suppose.
Jodie and I spent one night after work printing out the invites I designed. It went slick as a whistle, but, we did use a LOT of yellow ink. Luckily her boss doesn't mind the employees using the nice laser printer for non-work stuff. Dad helped me put on stamps and return address labels the next morning while Mom worked at the Church. It was lucky she didn't see me spill a glass of water on about a dozen newly addressed, stamped and labeled invites! Lucky for me they dried off nicely and the mail lady picked them up a couple hours later with no problem. Whew!
Jodie and I also volunteered to do the food. It is going to be a light buffet, so, we are going to put together meat, cheese and veggie trays. Oh, and make about 50 pounds of potato salad! One of my customers suggested a local grocery deli, but, nothing compares to homemade. Especially when Mom thinks hers is the best around. LOL Let's hope I don't screw it up. Oh, and here are some platters that came from the local deli. I know we can do better than that!
I also went shopping one night with Jodie along to give a thumb up or down. It's good to go shopping with someone else I think. Especially when you are buying something besides my usual shorts and t-shirts. I tried on a few things at Kohls but didn't find anything I liked. So we went across the street to Bergners and we hit the jackpot. The only bad thing was looking at the price tag after deciding on an outfit and finding the pants were $98 (darn you Laura Ashley)! Lucky for me, there was a sale on, and since Jodie offered to put it on her credit card for me, we got an extra 20% off. So, all three pieces were only $57. Gosh, I love getting a bargain! Now to find some shoes that will work...no Crocs for me that day I guess. Unless I have Rod bring me the 4 inch Croc heels!
