If you have followed my blog posts for a while and my Facebook page, it is no secret that I LOVE TO ENTERTAIN! I take it honest. My Dad loved entertaining but of course HE IS A REAL ROCKABILLY MUSIC ENTERTAINER as well as a Minister and INCREDIBLE Daddy! Whether it's performing on stage or in house or just telling jokes around the table with friends and family, THAT MAN LOVES TO ENTERTAIN. He was born to make people smile and also to introduce people to Jesus Christ. Like Billy Graham, my Daddy, Billy Adams, was destined to preach and teach the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, OUR HOPE. Sometimes, he can be quite entertaining in the pulpit, too. He just can't help himself.
Neither can I.
However, for the most part these past few years, I have found that my entertaining has gone from the stage and pulpit (singing & playing piano & motivational speaking anywhere I could get an audience) to the kitchen and great room of my house. I LOVE ENTERTAINING PEOPLE IN MY HOME! Fortunately, there seems to always be a reason to celebrate something or someone, and if not, I will invent a celebration reason to get a few or a bunch of folks together and have some great food, fellowship, fun, festivities, and of course there is usually always music and faith involved. Always uplifting and encouraging and bring out the best in each other. Recently it has gone from a few a year to at least once a month. Seems like I am having some party type festivity at my house or at least planning one, all the time, now. I LOVE IT!!!
November 2011 - A breakfast get together with a few girl friends. It was so good we vowed to get together the next month for lunch and we did.
Christmas 2011 - Lunch with both guys and girls. My friend Mel brought homemade Zuppa Tuscano Soup that was better than Olive Garden.
Saturday we are having a girls brunch and Pajama Party and it looks like my table is going to be full of friends and great food. Special Pancakes (gluten free and full of good flvaors like pumpkin and chocolate and bananas and berries and anything else we might want to throw in there. We are having a PANCAKE BAR, so each person can create their own pancake before, during, and after cooking it) And a new friend is bringing Sausage Balls. I want to do a smoothie bar too. Where we can create our own healthy delicious and fruit smoothies. SO EXCITED ABOUT SATURDAY THAT I JUST HAD TO SHARE THE NEWS TODAY, THURSDAY!
I am not telling you what the decor and theme is going to be. I will keep that a SURPRISE until you see the photos on Saturday.
Also on Saturday night, the Miss America Pageant is on and I can hardly wait. Did you read my post last week about Miss South Carolina? If not, scroll down now and read about her and look at her AMAZING photos. I hope she wins!!!! Sorry Miss Tennessee & Miss Kentucky. I hope you both are top 5 finalists though!
So much to do today, so I am off to get it all done!
Hope you all have a FABULOUS and HEALTHY day.
Blessings, HUGS, and Love,
Tina Maria
