A few weeks ago, or I should go back about a month ago, I received a precious bejeweled invitation to Ruth Fagan's 85 birthday party. Now to look at my friend, you'd never believe that this was this special birthday. In fact, Ruth didn't think so either...because written on her birthday (loaded with calories) cake was written....Happy 75th! And she's absolutely right..today's 85th is ten years going back counter clockwise. Actually, truth be told, Ruth looks much younger than that and her wardrobe attests to this.
I was really looking forward to this.....event of the season.
To find Ruth's house, her friend Faye went to the dollar store and bought 2 beautiful helium balloons which she hung on Ruth's outdoor post...announcing to her guests...you're here...you've arrived!
Ruth hired Cornelius, our High Point employee, to help serve and clean up...along with entertaining because he has a beautiful voice.....and he sang a touching gospel number that he has recorded.
This wasn't the only entertainment of the evening....two members of Temple Beth El entertained us with music and a darling skit.
Ruth had filled up her whole house with friends and relatives.......and we all really pigged out on all the food catered by 3 G's restaurant.
Ruth had ordered so much that I was invited back the next day to eat leftovers much to my delight.
We all had such a good time that we stayed about 4 hours which is a long time when your hostess is exhausted.
The guests left with a large 'goodie bag' filled with all kinds of delightful presents.
My greatest present is the lasting delicious memory of this special party...wih this special friend...and the enthusiasm and joy she put into this party.
