Aloha! ~ My Hawaiian Luau Birthday Party 2014~


It's that "Time" of the Year...My Birthday! The actual date was May 17th...but the party was on ...May 18th! First,the venue was changed one week before_(circumstances beyond my friend's control),some of the group friends couldn't make it,the menu & decor was a quick throw together...since the party was originally planned around my girlfriend's pool....I was getting kinda sad! NEVER FEAR...where only a few "Good Friends" are gathered_there's still a PAR-TEE!

Sooooo,here's some of the happenings! We missed the other Ladies...Karen,Shelly,Amy,Bev..
BUT...we Par-Teed on!

~Decor~
Got the Old Farmhouse up & running for an "INDOOR Luau Party"_First things First_












~Food~
Menu:
Pu-Pu Platter_Ribs,Egg Rolls & Chipolte Chicken w/BBQ,Sweet&Sour & Chilpolte Sauce.

 AND...Jilly P. Tiki Bar Mistress made...

By this time ...with food & drink ...it was on! 





BUT...one of the things we learned from many ,many,many parties ago...TAKE OUR GROUP PICTURE FIRST! 


Me!...arranging the Food in my Hawaiian attire...my sweet husband gave me the flower arrangement. 
                The Three wÄ€hine (wah-hee-neh) = womEn


                                       ~Good Times~
We Wined,We Lime Punched,We Feasted on Good Foods,We Laughed,We Caught-up on News,We missed our other Friends &
