Girls' Night Out was an absolute blast on Friday night!!!! There were people milling around outside, sitting at the tables we set up on the front lawn, and the shop was constantly packed with girls shopping their little hearts out..... Everyone had a great time and a few comments were we just don't want to leave because we are having so much fun...... YEA!!!!! I say, thanks to all that came.... we had so much fun seeing you all.....

The kitchen was packed with all the goodies for the munchies table.... and many bottles of wine ready for the raspberry and lemon sorbet balls that Papa Ed's Ice cream parlor brought down to the shop. Wine was poured over the sorbet and by all the comments very tasty indeed!



The shop before the crowd hit!!!!!


Our entertainment was the Come Back Buddy band.... I told you to wear your dancing shoes.... now do you understand why I said that? There was alot of dancing going on.... and guess what! I already booked them for next years Girls' Night Out.... Yippee!







The shop was constantly packed with shoppers.... thank you all....

Best Present of All!

I was going to post some great Mother's Day Gift ideas today but instead a pleasant little surprise arrived yesterday.....

This is Caleb Michael Migray. He is the latest addition to my son Eric and his wife Lee Anne's little family..... Caleb decided he wanted to come and come fast... He was born in the bedroom at home. The paramedics arrived and he came 2 minutes later. Earlier in the day the hospital sent them home because they said it wasn't time yet. Within a half hour of leaving the hospital and getting home the baby came.

Mom and baby are fine and should be coming home tonight.... He weighed 7lbs. and 20 inches long......



This is one of his big sisters Mollee who just turned 6 years old in March....


And this is really big sister Emilee, she is really going to be a big help for Mom.....

He also has another big sister Ainslee who was too busy socializing last night so couldn't get a pic of her with new little brother.....


Welcome to the world little Caleb.... you are going to be so spoiled by all your cousins and big sisters....
