    Yesterday was a party for the (old) ladies I swim with at the Y. Let me tell you, old people know how to cook. They've got experience.

    Today was Hubby's work party.

    And then!!! Friday is another party, this one for our family business.

    Today someone brought cupcakes to the office and they were really good! Normally the cupcakes that get brought in are pretty meh. This one was chocolate with vanilla frosting and salted caramel drizzle. It was delicious-- I wish I'd gotten a picture but I didn't think of it.

    We shared an 8 layer peanut butter kit kat bar that was really yummy, and a half baked turtle brownie - both of which I forgot to take a picture of because they were being passed around and eaten so fast!
