May Event on Whidbey

Gwen sorry to hear that your kiddo was being a little sh*! So these are the things I have to look forward to as a mom! :0)

Lynn- I hope that your surgery went well and that you are breathing much easier now.

What an absolutely amazing day we had! Carole your garden is beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us!

Gwen you are the most amazing hostess ever! Thank you so much for hosting my "surprise garden shower!" It was an absolute delight! The decorations and flower arrangements where gorgeous and the food was scrumptious! Such attention to every little detail, you truly are super woman!

Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful, thoughtful gifts, you are all so very gracious and kind. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Love you all so much.

A big thank you to my parents for keeping the "secret shower" a secret, that must have been a tough one! I managed to remember to bring my camera, but I was so busy chatting that dad took over the picture duties, thanks dad :0)

I can't remember the name of this tree/shrub but the bees loved it! Gwen has one in her yard as well.

I have a question - what time is it there? Are you guys in Washington and hour behind us?

I love the photo titled "enjoying the tour" - such magnificent trees!

The darling bibs that everyone created. What an awesome idea!

It was a lovely day, and it was so nice to finally meet a lot of you! Yes, Gwen's chicken salad is the best. Carole I wish I had been there earlier to see your garden. I still chuckle about Gwen's "special" hosta garden.

I'll send the chicken salad recipe out email.

That was such a great day! Remember the sunshine!

Thanks for the recipe Gwen!
