Incredible Weekend!!

I had the most incredible weekend, on Friday, my friend, Pam invited me to "Happy Hour" at Miriam's house. What a blast!! I haven't laughed so hard in months. I am so glad I decided to go; there were 14 of us and everyone was bouncing ideas off each other; laughing and joking; and all around just having good clean fun. I had to leave early because I had to work on Saturday or I would have still been there listening to rival war stories about NY versus Florida (no contest there) Marines versus Army and Air Force. Sorry there were no Sailors represented!


On Saturday, I had the pleasure of working with the photographer, Naha Nixon, on one of his coming projects. Without giving too much away I can now say, I have a better understanding of how men feel about their cars than I did before. We spent hours talking 'shop' and adjusting the lighting just to create the powerful images he was looking for. I am looking forward to seeing the completed project. I took this shot of Nixon while he was setting up another shot.

Incredible as it may seem, my weekend did not end there, Antoinette, one of the ladies from Friday night's "Happy Hour" invited me to the Euphoria Book Club meeting on Sunday at the Big Tomato on Pines Blvd where the food is awesome. WOW!! what can I say, yes we discussed the book "The Ex Files" by Victoria Christopher Murray, but so much else was going on.
Julienne, the CEO of J.O. Sweets & Treats, Inc. showcased two flavors of her special treat "Conookie" which is a cross between a cookie and candy. Very nice, and as you can see from the picture, this is going to be a hot seller. Another member JuJu, gave us all samples of her cakes, which were going so fast that I didn't even have time to get a picture!!!

Folks, I had a wonderful weekend, thanks for including me. Pam D. as always thanks for being such as great friend. Miriam, Julienne, and JuJu continue to shine and prosper. Pat N. keep up the great work with the book club. And to Al, Antoinette, Bridgette and all the other ladies out there everyday protecting us and risking their lives, thanks. By the way, I am taking Monday off to recuperate!!
