The last two weeks have been busy around my house - getting ready for almost 70 friends and family to help us celebrate my son's great health. Almost eight months ago, my oldest son was diagnosed with stage two testicular cancer. Since then he has undergone surgery and four rounds of chemotherapy. The great news is, being a very curable cancer when caught early, he is doing great! So the last few weeks have been all about planning, setting up, celebrating, and cleaning up. Here are just a couple pictures from our
CELEBRATION BARBECUE!
My daughter-in-law, and her artistic flair, getting the menu board ready.(thank you Karen, from the Graphics Fairy, for the great "MENU" graphic) I just painted a piece of plywood with chalkboard paint and then used white acrylic paint and my overhead projector to get the graphic blown-up to the right size. The menu itself can be washed right off and used over and over.
Tables were set with burlap cloths . . .
and centerpieces complete with LIVESTRONG clay tags.
Even Harley and Harriet (my son's dogs) came all the way from Minnesota to celebrate with us!
Great music provided by good friends Tom and Evan, from Leahy's Luck.
And . . . just a few of the friends and family who were here -
