Anniversary Plans




Since we are having the big celebration in July we don't have anything special planned for today, but I had to post my "gift". Its nothing to get excited about unless you are me (lol). A few weeks ago while at an appreciation dinner these beverage dispensers caught me eye. I became obsessed with finding them. And I did on-line at Ebay and Amazon. The problem was that they were nearly $40.00 each (plus $15.00 shipping). There was no way I could afford two (let alone three which is what I really want). I knew I would use them for a long time to come, but I had been told I could get them at Sam's for $19.00 a piece! I put out an SOS (with pictures) to a couple of girlfriends who are helping me plan the anniversary, and this morning my friend Teresa called me and told me that she was standing in front of them in our local Sam's. Marc was out of the area on a job, but I told him I had to go and grab them this afternoon when he got home. My sweet husband came home this evening with two of them under his arm. What is not to love about this man? And I plan to hug Teresa when I see her (she is one of those friends who is there through thick and thin). Like I said it may not be exciting to anyone but me, but I have been dreaming about those dispensers and all of the events in the future I could use them at. Sad, but true. I just think party planning is in my blood and there is just no way to escape it. The blue and white bowls below are for the potato salad and the bread which will be served at the party along with the chicken and ribs. The flowered bowls and ice cream scoops are for salad dressing. Now I just need to find silver wash buckets (to hold ice and bottled water) and clear bowls for my green salad. I also need to pick up a bag of sand to fill 18 glass vase with! I have so many ideas swirling around in my head I can't think straight. Will have to put the party plans on the back burner for a while. VBS is two weeks away!
