Good morning! 😀 It has been three weeks since Al has been mostly away on a job but today he will be returning home. I found out a couple of days ago while texting him while I was going in the local library… it went like this:
Me: How’s the job going?
Al: Possibly done tomorrow then start moving equipment out on Saturday.
Me: ok
Al: Just ok?
Me: I am in the library I have to be quiet 😛
Al: K
Me: Are you in a library too?
Al: Ha ha
Me: Woo Hoo!
Al: That’s better.
Here is what I have for Alyce’s Saturday Snapshot today…
Earlier this week I mentioned I had an awards event to go to… I even gave you a hint…
What I went to was the Annual Kidventure Awards at our church. This is a night to honor those who have volunteered in the past year. We were encouraged to wear either red, yellow, or orange…. a trip to our local Good Will in December helped me find what I was planning…
It was a lot of fun, about 60 people were there and when they voted for best dressed… I took best female and Craig (dressed in a one piece long john thing) won best dressed for the men. Oh the things I do….LOL
Today I have a baby shower this morning and a lunch date with a friend. This afternoon I hope to get in a little reading time, it’s been lacking this week. Late afternoon, Al should be home. 😀
Book Journey 
Gorgeous photos! Especially love the shoe peeking out…hinting at special things ahead.
Your dress is a great color! Thanks for sharing.
Here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
Thanks Laurel – I dont really own anything that color but when I seen this while looking for old sweaters for a friend to make gloves out of this Christmas I thought….do I dare? 😛
I love your shoes. You dress is pretty too, but reminds me too much of a bridesmaid dress I once wore in the 14 weddings where I was a bridesmaid. Here’s Mine
LOL – I bet! I have a closet full of this stuff!
You look great, but I’m afraid your lovely dress just pales in comparison to that charming orange long john number on your fellow honoree! LMAO! ;-D
LOL – I could not compete with that Megan….I know 😀
The color of that dress is just gorgeous. It is lovely on you.
Esme – you are too cool!!!
You look gorgeous and it looks like you had a great time!
I did have fun Kathy 😀
Love that dress and the kids love you too!! Glad that Al will be home today!
LOL Thanks Staci!
Wow, you look fabulous, Sheila! That color is amazing on you.
Thanks Beth… I really have nothing orange…
You have such fun events to go to, Sheila! Your text exchange with Al cracked me up too. 🙂
I always pick on Al when he one word texts me… 😀
How fun and I love the color of your dress! It’s amazing the treasures once can find at Goodwill!
LOL…. I love to bargain shop Annie!
Such bright colours. I like the style of your dress; it looks good on you.
Thanks 🙂
I actually love that color. It’s like orange sherbet and it looked fantastic on you.
Thanks Kaye 😉
What a lot of fun!
It was a good time 😉
I love the photo with you in your formal wear next to the man in his bright long-johns – priceless!
Thanks Alyce – it was pretty funny!
What a great thrift store find!
I love these crazy dresses I find at sales – I have a closet full 😀
The guy in the red long johns is obviously a great sport. Very dapper next to you in your beautifully colored gown. Loved your exchange with Al; no wonder you guys have been happily married so long. Glad he’s coming home.
Thanks Barbara, it will be good to have him home.
The red long johns are a hoot – are you sure he wasn’t the worst dressed? 🙂 But you look lovely – it’s a good color for you.
Oh no… he won an award Lisa….LOL 😀
You look lovely!
I do wonder what the other guys wore that resulted in the red longjohn win. Hee!
Here’s my snapshot: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2012/02/saturday-snapshot-valentine-flowers.html
Most of the guys wore jeans and a t shirt in the colors suggested or they didn’t dress the part all… only Craig went a big over the top 😀
That dress is gorgeous! I need to get something for a gala at my husband’s work … you may have just inspired me to check out what Goodwill has to offer! 🙂
Melissa, check out any second hand stores you have in your area. We have a nice one in town called Bargains On Seventh and I find a lot there for our book club dress ups 😉
Beautiful!
Thanks Kimberly!
Great photos, great dress. I especially love the last one. It looks like you all colour coordinated your outfits!
We were asked to wear either orange, red, or yellow Marie 😀
