Roses

A dozen Red Roses have been showing off in a clear vase on our dining table for several days now.  Yes, the real thing.  H brought the long stemmed beauties to me after one of his shopping forays.

H loves flowers as much as I do and a bouquet from Publix is always on our shopping list.  Usually they are a mixture of wonderful colors.  

These roses are perfect and still standing tall.  

Love you Harry!!!!!

Tempus Fidgits

H is going to be another year older--Dawn is going to be another year older Time just does not stand still.

Planning the big party for H keeps me busy at night when I can't sleep. I have changed my mind several times now.   What to serve
I do not want to cook. I tire so easily and a big group cook would have me out like a light.

For Hoover Doovers it will be a huge pile of cold shrimp and dipping sauce. Something or other rollups with pita, cheese and cheese and more cheese with crackers.
Since it will be on Ash Wednesday I will have to dream up a way to make fish sandwiches available along with the Crunchy fried Chix from Publix.
I do like the chopped salad from a certain restaurant in Winter Haven.
A tray of roasted vegetables would be nice and fruit with dip would be yummy. Especially a Cool Whip Lite Dip.
Of course the birthday cake. The 80 will be incorporated into the frosting -not flaming on the cake.
I do want to find a Barber shop quartet to come in and seranade us . It would be wonderful to have Jim and his pals play but I fear too costly. It never hurts to ask!!!!!
Which reminds me------"get the e-mail off to Jim"
I will need another four chairs and tables from Manny. 

Thank goodness Wendy and Amy and Eric and Gib will be here to help.
