Party Prep

Today is Amy's party.  It seems like we have been working for weeks and all of a sudden, it is today.  I know, trite ~ but true.
I am making two batches of brownies, pulling out cake plates and crystal dishes and, yes, the lava lamp!  We are going to put it in the desk area in the kitchen with the wine.  Nancy brought over the coolest and nicest pewter buckets (not really buckets, but not bins ~ I will take a photo so you can see) to put ice and wine bottles in to cool them down.
The house is ready and looks fantastic.  I took Amy to the liquor store, grocery store and Homestead Gardens and my car was FULL!.  The kid at Homestead said "You must be having a party" while putting pots of mums on top of the liquor in the back.  Yep.  However, I am sure we have too much stuff so there will be leftovers - hopefully in the liquor category, so it will carry thru the holiday. 
Got to go, brownies are done.  More later!!!!

AND, not to let this pass.........HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LORI!!!!!!!

Well, Amy says I am demented.  She says that I am incorrect about Lori's birthday ~ and she is correct.  I am early.  Amy also says that Lori and I have the weird birthdates:  Leslie is June 9, Scott was August 1, Lori is September 28, Amy is May 1, Nancy is November 25, and Carole is June 25.  Well, that does make sense.  So, I am early.  So, celebrate early and often!!!!!!!!

 

Love, Leslie

PS ~ Amy's house looks so gorgeous for the party tonite!  Pictures and hopefully video to follow!
