I attended a softball awards banquet for my daughter last evening. It was a potluck, and we baked mac and cheese. My little brain was too tired to figure out which dessert or the favorite kind of pop or the best salad to make. And so it was mac and cheese! Easy and very popular! Gone in 3 seconds. Today and tomorrow, thankfully, I have two days off work. I am so grateful. I've been busy with my daughter's graduation party. I enjoyed planning and preparing food and visiting with her guests. Now, it's time to move on. I have been online perusing ideas for beach-themed party gifts for my other daughter's bridal shower next month. Individual, thoughtful gifts, not a plethora of starfish shaped bottle openers or votive candles in shells. My idea is to buy 3 palm plants from the flower shop (closest thing I can get to the real thing!), tea towels with a nautical theme, those soaps that are decorative but not so great on your hands, body lotion, sea grass candles. The idea is to stay within a budget of $3 per gift. So, I will bustle about and purchase those. Hope to be finished by the weekend.
On another note, I have been writing and living vicariously in the minds of my characters. Much fun. The novel has a Latina flair so I enjoyed a conversation with a young man from Honduras who happened in to the store yesterday. We chatted in both Spanish and English. He was charming and said that he would come back. Hope I am not busy!
