The main dish at the party last night was FRIED CHICKEN!
Chris - a friend of Amber and Mike's - brought the whole shebang!
The chicken, cooker, fuel, oil......
......and the seasonings!
Notice the TEXAS beer - Shiner Bock - in the A&M Koozie!
The entire neighborhood smelled delicious!
Most of the neighbors were here at the party but I bet the ones who weren't wished they WERE!!
There were several expecting ladies attending - including the fryer's wife (on the left) - one of the FOUR I counted! Lisa (on the right) is Amber's good friend and college roomie. It is only fitting that they are expecting together. Even though Lisa is 27 weeks and Amber is 17 - they are 'expecting' to deliver at the same time!
I didn't get a pic of the chicken after it was crispy brown, tender and juicy.....the party was well under way by then.
But let me assure you - it was WONDERFUL!!
So good that this morning Louis Dean and I ate a couple of pieces cold for breakfast.
The party was a success and today has been productive. We are organizing as we admire and ooh and ahh over the gifts that have accumulated these past weeks. Un-packaging and making a game plan was our agenda. Summer, Louis Dean, Mike and Amber and I have been at it all day long and made some very real progress. Mike's brother, Mark, and his lovely girlfriend, Amanda, came over and were pressed into action. Many busy hands have made the work go a bit faster. TOTALLY too much for Amber to do even if she were not on modified bed rest.
Well, Frito Pie was the menu for tonight's supper. All is well in our world as we settle down for the evening. The young people are gathered around watching a movie in the den. Amber needed a distraction. She has been experiencing some contractions - which is to be expected - but is SO troubling! A movie is just the ticket to take her mind off things. As for the 'old' people.......Louis Dean and I are headed out to the lawn chairs we brought with us. He has them set up on the driveway. I have our wine poured and we intend to spend the next couple of hours watching the stars and just sitting.....with each other.
There is simply something special about a Sunday evening.
Hope YOU are enjoying YOURS!!
