This, That and the Other

It's been a few days of busy, fun, and many calories. Last night was our Ladies Dinner Club. I'm not sure if it was Spring Fever but it was like "middle aged women gone wild". It was like the 12 of us had just been let out of a deep hole. I don't think we've ever been so loud and rambunctious. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Here's a photo of the seafood salad we started with - Yes, there was shrimp, scallops and lobster tail on that plate!



Then this morning I picked up a treat. I won a little Facebook contest from a local start-up bakery and got a dozen mini cupcakes. And yes, they tasted as good as they look



Later I had a nice visit at the coffee shop with a cousin from out of town. We caught up on all the family news :). So it was a pretty good weekend so far. To cap off a great day I'm ending with a few hours of hooking. Another sunflower has bloomed on the burlap


Have I mentioned how much I love sunflowers? :)

    What a great looking salad! Seafood (not fried) is actually pretty low in calories. The cupcakes - perhaps not so much.:-) It sounds like you have had a week-end the way they are supposed to be - fun and fellowship! The rug is amazing! I am in awe of your ability to come up with things like this. Enjoy your evening!
