Party report

[wiseheart]

I'm relieved to report that the party turned out unexpectedly well. Six of the ten people I'd invited turned up, the 7th one is coming tomorrow, and of the other three I knew in advance that they wouldn't be able to make it. So, all in all, I'm content.

The food was a great success, Mum's salad de boeuf was gone in no time and so were most of the cheesy buns and half of each cake. I could barely put away a bit of everything for tomorrow's guest.

We had lots of fun, I got updated about the newest school gossip, and the girls admired my craft projects. I decided that I might throw another party next year, after all.

Glad to hear it went well and ... uhm ... happy birthday?
You didn't mention when it is actually.

Next Wednesday. I'll throw a teeny-weeny virtual birthday party for you ladies here.

Excellent! Good friends, and good food. What could be better :) You should definitely plan a party once a year.

I've done this for the last three years or so. I was just afraid it would fail this time. It's very hard to find a day that's good for everyone involved, as all the others have families, some even grandchildren, and are very busy.

Lol! I thought it had gone badly from your comments on your previous post. I'm so glad for you that it didn't. Happy Birthday!! :)

I thought it would go badly, too. When the third person cancelled this morning, I literally cried like a baby. But then the other three, who weren't sure they'd be able to come did come, after all, and we had a good time.

Yays!!

That sounds lovely! I'm glad you had a fun time and that the food was so well-received. And it's nice to keep up with what's happening at the school, for sure. Any good gossip?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Nothing really interesting, no. After all, I'm back there twice a week for choir practice, so I'm not entirely out of the loop. It was interesting to hear what the new colleagues are like, and we were able to explain the young ones some things they weren't aware of. Also, I never knew that one of the young ones were in the same class in secondary school as a kid of my very first class in this school, so it's funny. To imagine that I could be the mother of some of my guests.... *g*

Congratulations on a successful party!

Thanks, I had indeed!

I'm glad you enjoyed your party.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks, we all did. Especially after all that anxiety.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

I'm so pleased you had some guests, after all the hard work you and your mum put into the food.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

They practically inhaled the food, so we were very proud. *g*

So glad it went well! That food sounds delicious...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It was delicious! I had to save part of it for E. who came today extra because of family problems, so that she, too, would get some of it.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

So glad it went well.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

So am I, honestly. I'm always a nervous wrack before such events.

I am happy that your party was a success and a happy day for you!
