HAD A PARTY TONIGHT

We celebrated my nephew’s 40th. birthday here tonight.
I remember the day he was born. I was still in high school.
He has always had a special place in my heart. He was my “son” before I had children. He was the son that made me want a son. He holds a place in my heart that is so special and unique.
We had a gathering of his family here. His extended family and a brand new family member who is 5 days old.
So here we were. From 5 days old to 60 years old. We laughed and hugged and reminisced. As always food was an integral part of the gathering. We put out enough food for 3 times the people who were here and yet we still worried about everyone getting enough to eat.
We have marked another milestone. Forty? Five days? Any reason is a good enough reason to get family together and to celebrate.
To my family….I love you all. Y’all come back now, ya hear!

RETRO GLAMOUR SHOTS PARTY

Mimi over at Living in France gave me a great idea. You know Mimi don't you? She makes me laugh on a regular basis. 
She posted an old glamour (I'm Canadian, we spell it that way) shot of herself from years back and as I read the comments about everyone having their own pictures done too I figured it would be fun to have a Glamour Girl party. You remember those photos you had done 20 years ago where they did your hair and makeup? We would have them at our houses and the crew of photographer, hairdresser and make up artist would come and we would have a party. Food, wine, friends and some amazing transformations. An assembly line of women in various stages of super modeldom.

So here is the deal. Start looking for your pictures now so you don't miss out. They are likely hiding away somewhere in a box.

Tuesday, September 14th

I will put up a Mr. Linky post so you can link up your own fabulous Glamour Shot from the old days.

Don't be shy, share these great photos with all of us. Some will be funny and some will be awesome but hey they are all us and we are always a work in progress. 

I have had them done twice and wow was I ever a hottie!!! (snort) They were taken about 20 years ago.

We will all link up our posts with our beautiful glamour 

photos in them. Please post the badge from my sidebar on your blog as a reminder and invitation to others to join in.
