And a good time was had by all!
I had a little "porchless' party, this past Saturday, and had such a great time, hanging out with some of my favorite Buds!
What's a porchless party you ask?... lol
Well. I had a porch party back in 2005, at my "old" house. We crammed 12 people on that porch! It was so fun! just sitting around and doing what we do best..... laughing and talking our heads off on a Warm Summer evening.
I miss not having a porch, but still wanted to have friends over, I called it a "Porchless party"
I sent out invitations, that looked like the old notes we used to pass in school. They were folded in that "special" way, that once that little pointy corner was tucked, NOBODY could open except the recipient.... right? LOL
Present were: Melony, Gloria, Laure, Patti, Pie, Ruth & Bev.
I missed seeing Nancy M., Winnie & Sheila I wish they could have joined us. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY "S"
I served Tostadas & Tacos made with fresh, home cooked shells. I also made my family recipe "Hot Sauce" mmmm!
Melony was the first to arrive, and brought the delicious "Hanky Pankies!" (Look! I remembered the name, I couldn't stop eating them either!)
Gloria arrived just moments later, with a giant box of Cinnamon rolls.. sooo good warmed ahhh! (thanks for the M & M's and Ice too!)
Chips and dips and even Mexican Wedding cookies! (Thanks Laure!)
We had such fun just hanging out around the table. Eating and eating, drinking Margarita's... which was later replaced by lots of Coffee.
Melony brought her scrapbook of memories from "the good old days" ahh so fun!
Pie (Nancy V.) brought her scrapbook too. It was so cool to see these "antiques." Pie also brought me the most gorgeous Mums, in a deep beautiful Maroon.
It was just the best seeing everyone.
I can never say it enough.... how blessed I am to have the most amazing group of friends anyone ever had.
Melony & Ruth... I will keep you in my prayers, as well as all of you.
Love you all!

I love the idea of a porchless party and the way you did the invitations. I'm so glad you had a fun time with your old friends. Those memories that you share are so special. The food all looks great! I am curious what a 'hankie pankie' is. I think I would like to have some! Hope you have a great week! Twyla
I miss my friends...don't have many (any, it seems) here to hang out with....I think I'll move back, snow or no snow. Al can fend for himself and Molly's away at college anyway. I hope neither reads your blog, Mellen :)
Everyone looks so good -- how are we (I'm including myself) not aging? Something in all that toxic air and water when we were children must have preserved us.
Your apartment is so cute and you are so clever with the party themes. Do I have to start nagging you to become an event planner?
Well, porch parties are my favorite. I haven't had much of a front porch to hang out on ever, but my back porch has always been a favorite place to gather. We used to sit around the fire pit without a fire and sit and talk and sit and talk. Now, since moving don't even have a fire pit, but the back porch is still my favorite place to be with family and friends and anyone willing to bend an ear. So, I can just imagine what it was like around your table. What a wonderful idea and it looks like you had a terrific time!
Just wanted to stop in and say hi! Hope you've had a good Oct. Have you had any snow yet? I hope you have a fun weekend! Twyla
