We have interesting friends. Here’s a creative celebration Steve and I went to on Saturday night. What a fun event. Here are a few of the details. Hardtack crackers and dried black-eyed peas. The sheet music for Tenting Tonight on the piano. Photographs and books bearing the General’s likeness. A willingness to celebrate and have fun. A Prantl’s cake with five candles for his rank. I made Rice Pudding after reading that it was a favorite on the Presidents’ Food Timeline. Thanks Tim and Bernadette for being such welcoming hosts. We had a wonderful time!
That is amazing – imagine celebrating Grant’s birthday. I am impressed.
Either you hang with a very patriotic bunch or they’ll go to great lengths to come up for a reason to throw a party. I’m guessing it’s the latter! No matter, it sounds like a great time.
Any reason to get together with friends is a good idea. My kind of party…did I see pie?…and my kind of friends it sounds like.
Any reason for a party
What fun! Gen. Grant’s 190th — ‘who knew?” 🙂
When Southerners do this sort of thing we chuckle, but hey it’s Grant. Now that’s just being patriotic.
what a hoot!
Interesting company you keep. Fun, cool, kooky, interesting company. 🙂
One of our most beautiful and historic hotels here in San Diego is downtown, the U.S. Grant Hotel.
