Retro Night!

Tonight was our neighborhood dinner and the theme was “retro" night. We have six families who eat together every month and somehow it’s morphed into a different theme for every month….. sometimes even with costumes! (Tonight one couple came as Mike and Carol Brady. Hilarious!)

Everyone brought food they ate as kids. We had hamburger biscuit casserole, Salisbury steak and gravy, peanut butter filled celery sticks, creamed corn, and cornbread.

I brought BBQ green bean bacon rolls and pear-mayo-cheddar cheese salad! :-) (They are better than they look, promise!)

So this is my creativity for today – cooking with lots of color, photographing, and “retro-ing” it up with Photoshop.

I also met with a new friend plus an old friend to begin a writing group. We discussed how we thought the writing group might work and did a short writing prompt together: “Write about two rivers that join together.” I like the direction mine took and may rework it this weekend.

And – oh! This weekend!! Big plans and I’ll be sure to share!

Finally, one of the three most creative things I’ve ever done and her name is Mary. Precious, isn’t she? Taller than me at 12 – hard to believe! Smart, funny, makes me laugh all the time. I love her!

PS. Don't forget to take a look at today's postings for AEDM! I've found some lovely places to land over there.
