The Mrs. makes the best waffles. It is true. Being invited to her house for waffles is a real treat, and that is what she did recently. The breakfast table was lovely with the plaid placemats, polished silverware, and pretty crystal serving pieces. Fresh flowers on the table added a touch of class. I loved that […]
Super Sister’s son Kyle and his sweet family are enjoying Easter at Super Sister’s home. My, oh my! What a treat. Super Sister sent me pictures of her dining room table setting, and I now get to share. Darling rabbits and a basket of eggs fill the center of the table. I love the topiary […]
Spring has been a long time coming this year, but a visit to the Dallas Arboretum for 2015’s version of Dallas Blooms can certainly make one know that spring has arrived. Gorgeous tulips line the walkways. The tram driver told me that 500,000 bulbs were planted this year, and they are all new bulbs. Visiting the […]
While in rehab, Super Sister and her precious granddaughters, Sadie and Aubrey, made me the prettiest cupcakes. I did not call these Valentine cupcakes because they were sent to me with love, and not for Valentine’s Day. Be still my heart. The red, pink, and white decorations were beyond beautiful. As you can tell, each cupcake […]

One night before the retirement reception for Pastor Candy, Friend BB announced, “Don’t make me cut the cake!” Mrs. Ralph, joined in and proclaimed, “I can’t do it either.” To be honest, I have been known to feel that cutting cake is the worst job at a reception.

How do you do a cheese board or cheese table? I can not begin to tell you how many times I asked myself that very question – maybe a million times or so. Honestly! What cheeses should I choose? How many kinds of cheese should I use? How do you make it look impressive? I even […]
The Living Stones wanted the retirement reception for Candy to have the feel of a “proper” reception. With this in mind, we decided to walk around with the hors d’oeuvres on trays and serve them to the guests. Each member of the class donned black aprons over their black pants and white or black tops. With […]
