| SO IT WAS OFF TO DISNEY! OH HOW SHE'S GROWN |
 |
| SHE GOT SO MANY HATS WE LOST COUNT |
 |
| NOT DISNEY WITHOUT A CHARACTER DINNER..... |
 |
| WITH WINNIE THE POOH.... ALWAYS WITHOUT PANTS ON. I'M SURPRISED THEY ALLOW THIS AT A CHILDREN'S THEME PARK. |
 |
| BEING PUSHED AROUND BY HER HERO.... AT LEAST HE KNOWS TO WEAR PANTS.. |
 |
| OUT BOATING WITH THE BOSS.... |
 |
| AND BUYING EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE HEY.....ANYTHING THOSE TWO GIRLS WANT.... THEY GET! |
 |
| The one nice thing about our new life on the West Side is the Neighbors..... We unfortunately are the oldest.....but the ages of everyone varies from their 20's up to US in our 60's..... So when we heard that our neighbors Stephanie and Jared were about to tie the knot What better way to celebrate then with a little impromptu Bridal Shower..... Because this little Sub-Division at the foot of Kennesaw Mountain is Party Central.... |
Three and a half years ago My life changed a Lot when I met theAtlanta Blogging Ladies.....
FINDING OTHER WOMEN THAT HAD THE SAME INTERESTS AS ME WAS SOMETHING NEW.......
GETTING TO KNOW THEM OVER THE YEARS I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT
AMONG THE PEEPS WERE "OTHERS" AS CRAZY AS ME.....
"HOUSEWIVES" FANATICS.....
YES.....THOSE HOUSEWIVES......NEW YORK.....THE O.C.......ATLANTA......BEVERLY HILLS
AND OF COURSE....
|
 |
| THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY........ WAY BACK IN NOVEMBER WHEN I HAD MY BLOG BRUNCH I SAID I WOULD HOST A DINNER WHEN THOSE CRAZY NJ LADIES CAME BACK ON THE AIR.... WELL......SUNDAY NIGHT WAS THEIR SEASON OPENER AND IT WAS MY TIME TO "STEP UP TO THE STOVE" |
 |
| I CALLED UPON DAUGHTER TO SECURE ME SOME NEW JERSEY ROAD MAPS FROM THE LOCAL REST AREA ON THE JERSEY PIKE....... WITH INTENTIONS ON USING IT AS GIFT WRAP FOR THE PARTY FAVORS.... BECAUSE EVERY PARTY NEEDS FAVORS..... WITH THE T.V. IN THE KITCHEN MOVED INTO PLACE FOR OPTIMAL VIEWING IT WAS TIME TO GET YOUR "JERSEY ON"......... |
 |
| OF COURSE BEING A JERSEY GIRL FROM WAY BACK I GOT OUT MY SOUVENIR DRINKING GLASSES...... I USED THEM IN A GROUP FOR MY FLOWER ARRANGEMENT ON THE TABLE..... |
 |
| A NEW JERSEY 1950'S STATE SOUVENIR PLATE ALSO IN MY REPERTOIRE OF TACKY MEMORABILIA..... |
 |
| I HAVE TO ADMIT THE TABLE LOOKED PRETTY DARN CUTE..... FOR THE LADIES THAT ACTUALLY HAVE LIVED IN JERSEY I MADE SURE THE TOWN IN WHICH THEY LIVED WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP..... |
 |
| IT WOULD NOT BE A HOUSEWIVES EVENT WITHOUT OUR OWN PERSONAL BUTLER...... BEVERLY HILLS AND ORANGE COUNTY EAT YOUR HEART OUT..... HE CAN BE RENTED OUT FOR YOUR PARTY FOR A SMALL FEE.... SEEN HERE WITH ANET......OUR REALTOR!! |
 |
| JOYCE "FLOUR POWER" CAME DRESSED WITH HER "JERSEY JOE" HAT ON |
 |
| ROSE "THE SANTAMAKER".....
CAME DRESSED IN ANIMAL PRINT....
|
 |
| ROSE'S NEIGHBOR KELLY ALSO DRESSED IN LEOPARD..... AND SHE GOT A LITTLE TOO CHUMMY WITH THE HELP..... |
 |
| OUR FAVORITE "JERSEY GIRL"...... MISS LUCY...... WE MET THE DAY WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE THEN DISCOVERED THAT NOT ONLY WAS SHE A JERSEY ITALIAN GIRL JUST LIKE ME BUT IN JERSEY WE LIVED LESS THEN A MILE APART... I ALSO JUST REALIZED THAT THE BOSS LOOKS LIKE A DUMMY BOARD NOT AN IMITATION....IT WAS THE BOSS IN THE FLESH.... AND ENJOYING ALL THE LADIES... |
 |
| AND NOW ON TO THE STAR OF THE EVENING.... THE FOOD!!!! |
 |
| SOME SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE GETTING READY TO GO INTO THE OVEN |
 |
| PEPPERS TO GO ALONG WITH THE SAUSAGE |
 |
| SAUCE BUBBLING FOR THE SPAGETTI AND MEATBALLS |
 |
| AN ANTIPASTO..... |
 |
| EVERY BODY'S FAVORITE.... MELTED BRIE IN PHYLO CUPS WITH PEACH JAM..... |
 |
| HAD TO HAVE MY ROSEMARY LEMON BREAD...... |
 |
| YOU CAN'T DO ITALIAN WITHOUT MEATBALLS..... NOW NORMALLY I FIND THAT WOMEN DON'T EAT MUCH WHEN OUT..... NOT IN THIS CASE..... I THINK EVERYONE WENT BACK FOR SECONDS.... I WAS VERY HAPPY!! |
 |
| THIS MY MY FAVORITE...... I ROAST THE SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE FIRST.......THEN ADD THE ONIONS AND PEPPERS..... NO SAUCE....I LIKE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS.... |
 |
| WAITING FOR THE SHOW TO COME ON..... |
 |
| DISCUSSING THE SHOW AND WONDERING JUST HOW WACKY THE WOMEN OF JERSEY WOULD BE THIS YEAR....
EVERYBODY WAS WAITING TO SEE WHAT THERESA WAS GOING TO DO.....
ANOTHER TABLE FLIP???? |
 |
| LUCY WAS TOO FUNNY.....EVERY TIME THE SHOW CAME BACK ON AFTER A COMMERCIAL....SHE WAS IN CHARGE OF SHUSHING US ALL.... |
 |
| LET'S NOT FORGET DESSERT..... |
 |
| WITH THE NIGHT COMING TO AN END......THE DISHES DONE AND THE WINE DRANK..... |
 |
| WE DECIDED TO DO IT ALL AGAIN WHEN THE NEW YORK HOUSEWIVES COME BACK ON THE AIR..... AND I BET YOUR ALL WONDERING WHAT WAS IN THOSE MAP WRAPPED GIFTS ON THE TABLE...... |
