Friday night in Wonderland. Our party was hosted by the Mad Hatter, assisted by the Queen of Hearts. The basic idea was to wear a mad hat or "Off with Your Head!". My personal favorites were John's slow Joe Crow Dreadlocks and who couldn't adore Darcy's silver spider topped with rat??? Vikings, witches, cowboys and flower children were plentiful as well. Special treats were Peggy's brie and Karren's appetizers, Sue's homemade rolls, wonderful salads from Meredith and Chris's with mint salad dressing made from mint grown in her garden. Janet's roast beef with yorkshire pudding got a nice accessory from Darcy and Lori's fresh veggies. Kathy and Freddie added yummy desserts - gelato and pumpkin cheese cake. So sorry our photogrpher got everyone's picture except Norm and Meredith. Meredith made a special effort to come after experiencing an unintentional overdose of niacin that left her red, flushed and feeling less than super.
Aces of Diamonds, Hearts, Spades and Clubs led their folloers through Wonderland activities: Hatmaking 101 (the thimble game), Pin the Grin on the Cheshire Cat, The Mat Hatter's Tee party (golf) and "You're Nothing But a Pack of Cards (hearts). Winners in each suit went home with tiny UN'birthday cakes.
