A Public Thanks
Monday, July 2, 2007 at 12:15PM For a very private person.
My sister in law, Sally. Some of you know her as Sally S.
Sally and I gave the shower together this weekend. Cooking just isn't Sally's thing. Neither is party planning. Her thing is serving, quietly, in the background. And encouraging others--especially encouraging others.
I do not exaggerate one bit when I say that I could NEVER have pulled it off without Sally's help in the kitchen. The prep stuff is easy--like they say, you can eat an elephant one bite at a time. But without Sally's help in filling bowls and plates and garnishing, the whole thing would have been a nightmare. When you get right down to it, the devil is in the details and it was Sally's work that made it all come together. It truly couldn't've been a success without her.
It's the stuff that goes on behind the scenes that makes or breaks an event.
Thank you, Sally.

Sally shared with me a bit about what you two were doing, and I told her I'd pray for you both. I'm so glad everything went well. Sally is a real sweetie. :)
She certainly is!
Thank you so much, Kim and Jen, for your kind words *blush*.
All I can say is I am glad Kim was in charge of the menu, or it is hard to say what the guests might have been eating if I had had to do that part!! It certainly would not have been as beautiful of a presentation or as delicious as the food Kim prepared. The guests enjoyed a real treat. Love you, Kim!!
Love you, too, Sare!
That is the truth! Blessings on all the Sally's out there!
