We had two parties this weekend. Saturday was Mason (Great Nephew who lives next door) High School Graduation Party. We got to visit with a number of neighbors that we don't see often. Pulled Pork, buns, baked beans, potato salad, chips and cake were served buffet style.
Sunday we celebrated my cousin Geraldine's 75th Birthday. More food was served; ham on buns, potato salad, pasta salad, fruit, pickles and many different kinds of desserts. Her children gifted her plane tickets to Finland in September...boy was she surprised! It is a girls trip with her daughters going along and a daughter in law.
Needless to say we didn't cook for ourselves this weekend!
Sunday Baxter's family deserted him so he spent some time with me. He listens to me much better when my baby brother and his bride are not around! (Just like a little kid.)
Baxter and Lilac blooms!

Baxter looks happy, and the lilacs are pretty, too. Ours are all gone now, but I enjoyed them while they were here. :-)
Loads to celebrate this weekend, and I bet the break from cooking was welcome too.
The tickets for a trip together with her girls - what a wonderful gift! It's a Gift of Time. Sounds like a terrific weekend with family. We went to a family wedding, and had a really good time.
Baxter appears to be laughing in the photo. What a character...just like a kid.
Both parties sound like fun, and delicious too!
That sounds like a great weekend. Potato salad and baked beans. The staple of midwest summer picnic potlucks! Those tickets sound like a wonderful gift. How fun for all of the girls to go together.
I'm glad Baxter was able to visit. That is exactly how little kids act. Dogs are the BEST!
Blessings,
Betsy
Gatherings for happy occasions are wonderful. Congratulations to all.
What a great gift for your cousin!
Sounds like a busy, happy weekend with good food.
Baxter must be good company. :)
You go Geraldine... as long as you can... and have as much fun as you can!
I always, always enjoy a break in cooking! Love the Baxter!
Is that a smile on Baxter's face! That is some kind of fabulous gift, wow! It's always appreciated when I get a break from cooking.
That sounds like a good weekend, with parties and food and the company of a beautiful dog.
Those kids know what makes a great gift.
The gift of a trip with her girls sounds lovely. And Geraldine has 3 months or so to anticipate the fun.
Nice to get together and celebrate achievements.
What fun celebrations you've been enjoying....and food sounded good too. Are you getting any rain? We sure need some here. Cooling down a little for the next week.....thank God.
Baxter is so sweet!
Baxter is a cutie pie! Sounds like some good eating!!!
What a wonderful weekend with all that good food you didn't have to cook! Baxter has gotten to be a big boy! What a wonderful present that your cousin received! Happy Birthday to her for sure.
What a cute pup!
