Easy for me to say as a simple guest at our friends' birthday party for their two year old son. Dr. Seuss was the theme of the evening. We were treated to games and food from Whoville (did I get that right??)
The piece de resistance was the incredibly accurate leaning hat-cake straight from the pages of Dr. Suess' latest story. Congratulations to both Jennifer and Patrick for hosting a fun party, and of course to their two year old son, Cohen.
David & I decided that we will spend our anniversary on Friday, June 6 at Epcot! Yay! I'm very excited. I can't remember the last time we were there. So many changes, so many new exhibits!
Over the next week, we'll be 'researching' all the new venues (including restaurants) to have a 'game plan' for our special day. Can't wait!
With less than seven days left, we're winding up all preparations this week. This strategy is to leave room for 'contingencies' next week! Tomorrow, patio fans will get installed, wedding planner picks up centerpieces, air conditioning man does a maintenance and hair appointments have been set. My dress, shoes, purse - done! Tux's on order - hopefully, they will come in just fine (Wednesday). Caterer for the 'Afterparty' hired and menu chosen. Golf has been set up for the men on Friday. Most details tended to...now, for the unforeseen contingencies!!! I must remember, "Keep Smiling!!"
From the first mint julep handed to us as we arrived, to the homemade 'buckeye' chocolate-peanut butter dessert, a delightful and unusual evening was enjoyed by fifty plus guests. The Hayes expansive and beautiful home was the venue for our first Kentucky Derby party in Harbor Hills. Betting was encouraged, as David used his knowledge to select three potential winners. Two dollars was the maximum bet per horse.
All the delicious hor d'oeuvres were made by the hostess, Darlene Hayes. Darlene shares David's birthday (January 10) as well as home state (Ohio). In addition, all desserts were also homemade and fabulous!
We had a lovely buffet dinner of roast beef and chicken fingers, amidst watching the race, having a girls versus boys Derby trivia contest and voting for best dressed, best hat and best overall. My vote was for the neighbor who arrived in jeans carrying a shovel with a sign that said, "Stable Pooper Scooper." That would be our friend Dee DeFazio!
A great time was had by all!
