Good morning BJ....That place was beautiful, and such a great place for a picnic. Sorry the clouds rolled in, spoiling your swim time!
Everything thing sure looked yummy!

Good morning, sweet lady. That does look like a wonderful party.
The plant is a bromeliad. We had them on our patio in Florida. I agree that they are beautiful.
Wonderful pictures of the flowers - but you know how much I love flowers.
Yes, the rain moved you in doors - but at this time of the year we will take rain anytime.
Have a glorious week.

Great picnic and party! Love your new header.
Morning, BJ! What a lovely spread! I'm sure you had a good time. It was a wedding reception? Everything is just beautiful! Wish we had some of that rain!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Morning BJ! Love your new header.
What a cool property. I loved that pond! Too bad about the storm but I think it's so fun visiting with friends while listening to it rain. Seems so cozy.
Ya Hoo ! that looked like great fun !
Well darn that weather! How dare it interupt what looked like a fabulous party. I'll take some of that chocolate cake and a scoop of that fruit! Hey woman what happened to the red??? I must say I like the soft creamy color at this time of the morning...the red probably would have woken me up and I'm not ready yet. Have a wonderfully sparkly day!
At least you had fun and everything looks delicious.
Have a great week, my sweet BJ. Suzy
Looks like a wonderful place for a party and the party looked great!
I'm going to stop by your pink post, when I leave this comment.

HI BJ! Thanks for stopping by to visit. And yes, hubby and I love West Tx - Lubbock, especially. I think I know EXACTLY where your party was this weekend. The pictures look so familiar!
Please come back by anytime.. and I will definitely be back. Love to see pictures of my dear West Texas and your great blog!
Sassy
Oh, I forgot to compliment your new look.It is very refreshing and bright.
Suzy
Good morning BJ, that picnic looks beautiful! Was it a wedding reception?
Beautiful! Even the food was beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

Hi BJ, I am so behind in my visiting. We have been gone for five days, and to make matters worse, we were gone for pink Saturday. I managed a few visits but we know that doesn't work on that day of all days.
The party looks so festive, with beautiful flowers to boot. And a goldfish pond. Lovely. I was drooling over all the food and then I saw that gorgeous mound of fruit. Wow, I want to make that. This Sat. I am having a wedding shower for my great niece. She is getting married at the Biltmore in October. Another wedding, thank the Lord I am not the wedding planner this time. Smile.
I wanted to tell you what that flower was, but I see Beverly already did. You have to have warm weather for those to grow.
Are you really feeling like yourself again? I hope so.
Love and hugs, Jeanne

How did that happen. I must have been a little heavy on the keys. You can go in to typepad and delete one.
Oops, Jeanne
Hi BJ, just popped over to say hello. I loved your pictures of the party, looks like a lot of fun. Hope you have a great week.
-Cheers, Amy
WOW! What a party!! I'm starving to death right now! I'm confused. Was it a wedding or a cookout? Anyhow white wedding cake one of my favorite desserts and oh my that fruit looked delish! Sorry you guys didn't get to swim.
What a beautiful setting for a party; looks like FUN!
:)
Thank you for sharing your picnic! I have never been to a cook out (here in America) here where i live, but i have been to one at my aunt's in California and we cooked out a lot back in the Philippines.
Sorry about that rain! Blessings for sure, for the bride and groom.
Good morning sweet friend! I can hear the fire and fun in your voice today! I love your photos and the rounded corners!
Hi BJ. I enjoyed your rain cloud pictures- haven't seen any of those in quite a while ;)Send that rain down San Antonio way. we need it!
My husband is from Dimmitt/ Nazareth over in your neck of the woods!
Hi BJ,
Just dropped in to say Hi....
I love your new blog header....very nice....It's really nice to change things around once in a while....It seems the older I get I really like changing things around....
Everything at the party looks Fabulous....Glad you had a good time rain and all.
Hugs,
Mo :-)
bees??? BEES??? What you been smokin woman? Ok I admit I was doing some messing around today...I tried 3 or 4 backgrounds...but they just seemed to be distracting. So I gave up and went back to my boring stuff.
Hope you had a great day!
Looks yummy and fun! Lovely post!
Hugs,
Robyn
Oh dear. I'm sorry you and your guests couldn't swim that day. That happens sometimes...
Your yard and food and everything look wonderful. I'm sure you all had a great time even minus the swimming.
have a lovely day
