Wagons West Dinner

Good evening, daughters and granddaughter,
I know Thursday has come and gone but I've had a busy week. I did get Chase's coverlet finished but I haven't delivered it yet. I will take pictures once it's on his bed and I've hung his valance. It may not be for a day or two.

Friday night we had some friends from Arizona who live in Wisconsin come to stay the night. Actually they stayed in their new pickup camper in the driveway but they used our bathroom, so that counts as staying over. I had decided to invite the Arizona people who live in Sioux Falls to come for dessert and coffee when dad asked, why can't we have them come for supper? So, good wife that I am, I said OK. It was a simple meal of sandwiches, jello, relishes, watermelon, grapes, chips and pie for dessert but it still took a large portion of my Friday to get ready. Dad was working at the hospital. When he got home about 2:00, however, we did take a short nap.

Here are some pictures of our dinner: (note the tablecloths - aren't they cute?)

We had a good time. They arrived a half hour early at 5:30 and stayed til 9:30. Now, you may have noticed that Uncle Rich and Henrietta are also on the picture and as you are aware, they do not live in Sioux Falls. They were over for lunch (Subway) on Tuesday and we were telling them that we were having some Wagons West people over on Friday night. Rich asked why he wasn't invited - I said, you don't live in South Dakota and this is for South Dakota people. Of course, I relented and invited them because I thought it would give Henrietta a chance to meet some of the ladies from the park.

I made chicken salad and it was awesome. Uncle Rich said it was as good as Subway's and he really like the salad at Subway. Kudos for me!!!!

DeAnn, do you remember this angel that you made at Bethany Meadows with Grandma and then hung on my picture in the living room where it's hung for the last two years, at least, if not three. Well, keep a copy of this picture because she has died and was buried on Friday. Sorry!

We leave on Tuesday for Minnesota. I'll try to blog from up there if they have wireless at the park.

Great week to y'all!!!!
