My good friend Emily came over today. All the stores in the design district are staying open late the third Thursday of the month. So we spent the afternoon making great food for her store. I should have taken pictures, everything was so pretty! White sangria with white peaches, raspberries, and honey dew melon afloat...a yummy yet simple bean dip with sugar snap peas and grape tomatoes for dipping...dried apricots with goat cheese and basil...it was all beautiful! I love food. I love touching and tasting, preparing and colors, and most of all, I love blessing others with food. Maybe I should start a catering business...Or maybe a cafe...or bakery... :o)

There is a lady in my neighorhood who deals in antiques. She has a garage sale most every spring, and there is usually always a great deal to be had. I didn't have lots of time, but I stopped in this morning. I found a big box of old softballs for 50 cents each. I asked how much for the whole box, to which she replied $5! I am trying to come up with a way to incorporate softballs in our reception decorations, seeing as how we met playing ball. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My mothers day gift from my honey:

I know, I am so behind the times!!! The best gift of the day was a letter he wrote. I think every mother deserves a letter, at least once a year.
