Here's the Birthday Girl, Penny dressed in Aqua,,,,,,, (apparently she got the "memo" about the theme!)
We all dished up Lunch and our coworker Rita arrived a BIT late,,,,,,,,but with Novelties in hand.......we all received and donned "Happy Birthday" Glasses.......you know, some times it is just GREAT to be on the OTHER side of the Camera,,,,,,,But THIS turned out pretty Cute!!!
(Amy, Jill, Luanne, Rita, Birthday Girl Penny, Sandi and Jana front and Center!)
Our dear leader and Joyworks owner Clarice, wasn't here.......She's got a respitory Bug......I'm sure Days and days of buying for Joyworks in Atlanta and then hitting the ground running,,,,,back to work at the shop, didn't help!
We all missed her,,,,,,and hope she'll rest up and get BETTER!!!
"Les Cake"
Penny and I suffer from the same condition. We've both been to Europe and developed a taste for TRUE, Artisian Bakers,,,,, authentic European pastries/desserts. I KNEW her pallet was defined,,,,shortly after I met her! Traveling through France, Belgium, Italy, and the likes,,,,,,there is dessert,,,,,,,,,and THEN there is DESSERT!!!
Voila........the Cake.........
We had a great afternoon! And, Oh my Stars......Next Friday is Clarice's Birthday Celebration! And then Luanne's and then,,,,,,and then.........
Hugs and Love to all my coworkers---especially Penny because this was HER event! And warm hugs and thoughts for Clarice,,,,,,,hope she's starting to feel better!
I can never elaborate enough about the tremendous group of women I work with! They light my life, my days...I treasure each and every one of them. Penny,,,LOL as we periodically joke about is the newest Joyworks member. Joined our group approaching 70..........
I simply cannot imagine my life without all the women I work with. They are ALL truly the best of the best. And Penny has been a fantastic, new addition to the mix. She's Timeless, to me. I've gotten to know her pretty well and frankly, I never think about her age. Or our age differences. I simply LOVE having her in my life, working with her,,,,,and getting to know her better. And her "hubbs," Bill is a dear!
Happy Birthday Penny! I hope you enjoyed your Special Celebration! So Glad to have you in my life,,,and I'm sure all the Joyworks Gals appreciate you as well!!!
Get Healthy Clarice!!!!!!!!!
Hugs, Big Love and a Bus,,,
