aniv.party

The party was well attended with about 70 people coming to wish the 60 year marriaged couple well.
The cake impressed me. My Aunts grand daughter baked and decorated it. It was very professional. The three layers were stacked apart by a ring of clear plastic which displayed the photos their previous aniv. parties. So.... cool. The daughters and grand daughters prepared all the snacks. These varied from shrimp on cucumber slices lightyly sprinkled with cayenne pepper, to a cream cheese spread covered with a spicy sweet mixture of caramel, chopped pecans and (maybe) tereiyaki sauce. These were only the beginning ,at the end of the table a large display of fruits was beautifully presented. A pink punch and ice cream punch appeared so refreshing and was enjoyed by many on this hot day.
Effie was dressed in a pale green light weight flowing gown and looked beautiful ,while Duane wore a shimmering light gray suit.
I saw many cousins, other aunts and an uncle. A lot remembering and sharing filled the hall. The slide show of the couple's family drew a lot of attention and praise.
