The party theme was "The Sixties" and so out of storage came the fabrics.

| Todd wore Stan's hand-me-down |
Stan thought something looked familiar as he passed the barbecue grill where meatmeister Todd was grilling burgers to order. His shirt had a frilly yoke and button placket. Sure enough, Mom had hand-sewed that very shirt for her son long ago and he had since passed it on to Jennifer, who loaned it to her friend, Todd, who earlier had lamented to her that he "had nothing to wear" from the Sixties. "Groovy, Todd, I'll take my Juicy Lucy Medium."

| Jeanine with Peace sign |
At first, Kathleen had missed the colorful runner on the gift table. But after waiting a bit, and with Gene Pitney wailing "It's Over" in the background, Jennifer prompted her Mom. Jennifer had saved one of the bright curtain panels from their 70s Jonathan home. The unit had been decorated as a model home/office and the curtains were orange and outstanding, the perfect thing for a Sixties table runner 40 years later.
Jeanine was 50 on Saturday, she's Jennifer's friend and neighbor. Jeanine and friends planned a 60s picnic, so her handy husband Todd welded her a hippie necklace with a hand-made peace sign. Right on, Jeanine! Very groovy. Your blog hosts are Stan and Kathleen Rolfsrud and we each know more about the 60s than Todd, Jeanine and Jennifer put together. It's our bag.
