DH made the pineapple upsidedown cake for us and oh my GOSH it was yummy! There is none left over.
I wanted an extra pop of yellow for the table, so I went to Michaels and spent $3 for a stem of artificial forsythia, then pulled it all apart and left a sprig of faux flower on each napkin. Add a clementine on each plate and it looks like a magazine!We talked and laughed and ate and knitted. MJ is knitting a cape for her rag doll. Maggie is knitting a vest for her beloved. Barb is crochetting an afghan. Lisa made fabulous stitch markers with There were fifteen of us. I didn't get a chance to talk to everyone. I finally threw everyone out at quarter till two. It was a peak experience! I really, really love doing this! What a glorious tintinabulation of happy women's voices. And the house just echoes with happiness afterwards.
It was so much fun! Thanks for the invitation. Everything was delicious. Your DH done himself proud with that pineapple upsidedown cake.
ReplyDeleteYou are a most gracious hostess! And you cook good, too.
ReplyDeleteNow this line confused me...Lisa made fabulous stitch markers with There were fifteen of us.
ReplyDeleteShe made stitchmarkers out of the 15 of you???
Sounds like fun. I spent my day recuperating from an evening of throwing up and diarrhea. I had eggs and toast for dinner Friday evening and thinking maybe one or more eggs were not too good even though just bought. Feeling better now.
so much yellow! I'm so impressed. It looks gorgeous Roxie!
ReplyDeleteI love that you share these days with us--it certainly adds a grace to my day that it would not ordinarily have.
ReplyDeleteYum! That all looks and sounds delicious - except the clementines (we call them mandarins here, I think) - not my favourite!! What a great idea for a theme though, colour! Might have to steal that...
ReplyDeleteoooohhhh, one day, one day I'm going to be there and join in all the fun!
ReplyDeleteOnce again a fabulous table and gorgeous goodies too.
What a nice bit of sunshine! Clementines are one of the only cirtus fruits I can still eat (without stomach pain). I love them.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm inspired to make a lemon meringue pie today. I want something yellow and I don't have any pineapple for a cake.
A lovely table of sunshine for the dark of winter. Once again looks like a marvelous party!
ReplyDeleteThe "tintinabulation of happy women's voices"--what a gracious & kind way to describe our noise! ;o)
