Wow!...
I had grander plans for this post.. A birthday party for my husband and our Daddy on Saturday night...obviously that's the big thing this weekend...won't be cooking tonight...but lot's of great leftovers...
It's been a very busy week...This is the first time I have grocery shopped, cooked, decorated the house and wrapped the gifts all in the same day as the party...If Sister had not helped with the food, I would have been in real trouble...
I jumped in the shower and got ready 45 minutes before everyone arrived...that was a first...but it was family, and the minute we were all together...it was OK...
Unfortunately all of the wonderful pictures I had planned to take...just didn't happen... I don't have one picture of the food...and didn't take one of the dining table until the dishes had been cleared...

A video of my day would have been very comical...I literally ran from one project to the next...
Had to do a little Fall decorating on the front porch...I have been out of town just about the entire Fall and didn't even have a pumpkin... Didn't do much, but I think it's simple and pretty...

On The Menu
Corn Dip
Hearts of Palm Salad
Marinated Green Beans With Onion and Bacon
Potato Casserole with Onions and Cheese
Garlic Bread
Roasted Beef Tenderloin
I used The Pioneer Woman's recipe for the beef tenderloin...and it was superb!
This is her image...but mine looked just like this...delicious!!!
