May will mark the final days of M'Lynn & Erica's High School career and then, of course, there is the celebration. June 4, 5- ? pm at the 4-H building. I'm sooooo glad we decided to do it later. Spring is such a busy time on the farm - 11 calves on the ground so far, corn is all planted, soybeans are almost all in - that it would have been just insanity to do their party in the next couple of weeks.
We have decided on cupcake recipe and frosting recipe (white chocolate, and it's seriously yummy). I have tried my hand at potato salad... that still makes me nervous. Chris is in charge of the burgers and coordinating all that with the Cattlemen. Next for taste testing at home is choosing the punch recipe. Think we'll go for simple there, though I have gotten some fabulous recipes from friends. Final piece of the puzzle will be a giant Sam's Club run and then it will be down to actual execution.
So, I'm a bit distracted at the moment. Random preparation thoughts popping into my head at odd times. But, we are having a great time planning and preparing. And we're managing to get all the important stuff done too - attending to the cows, calves, pigs, chickens and the soil! :-)
