Celebrations of Life

It’s been a weekend of celebrations for me. One of my sister’s celebrated the big 75 and her daughters held a beautiful catered brunch and invited a big group of her friends.
Everything was just perfect.

Especially the cakes which where made by one of her son in laws.


I was nice enough to take a slice home to Tom, since this was a ladies brunch.


My sisters favorite color is red so an email was sent out right before the event to suggest that everyone wear red. It is apparent those who don’t read their emails.

Later the same day I along with Tom this time attended a 90th birthday dinner for a friend at a local country club.

At the entrance of the room there was a life sized cutout of three children which I later found out  was the birthday girl Joann as a child with her two little bothers.

There were other life sized photo cutouts scattered about the room, depicting Joann in her younger very elegant life.
The dinner tables had gorgeous centerpieces 
and for those that couldn’t wait for the cake to be cut, there was a table set up with strawberries and cream.
We all enjoyed the delicious dinner and the music of her favorite era supplied by a live band....and yes there was another fun cutout of Joann sitting on the piano.

I hope that you too had a fun and festive weekend....Janey

  2. That looks like two fabulous events. I love all the ladies in red. It makes a great group photo even with a dot of blue and grey. That 90th party looks very elegant. Sounds like a great weekend.

    Surely your family had great genes and the women look beautiful!
    That 90th Birthday was very special and how cleverly thought out those life-sized cut-outs!
