Birthday and Holiday weekend

Today is my granddaughter's 26th  birthday. I am having a party for her and it is a perfect day. It is one day I will not be eating, thinking, and breathing jewelry! I can't believe how fast the years have flown by and how can she be 26, when I am only 40. Oh I remember, 60 is the new 40.

I love to cook gourmet foods and luckily my family likes to eat them. I am making an incredible Thai noodle salad, a salt potato caper salad, among other things and the most decadent banana cream pie you have ever eaten!
I made a batch of strawberry pina coladas with home grown strawberries! (I didn't grow them) I think I put too much rum in them. Oh dear.
Must run off to Fins and Tails for shrimp and scallops. Heather loves shrimp cocktail and if you live in Syracuse, you only get shrimp from one place. Dave is grilling scallops wrapped in bacon.
I am in the middle of making the perfect serving dish for my family in ceramics. It's called,  The diets begin,
when pigs fly. My assignment was to create something with humor.  Stay tuned for pictures, if it makes it through the kiln.
I hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend. I plan pretty much on it being a giant party and vacation. I will get back to making jewelry as soon as I find a spare second as I am already missing it. I am an addict.
