CH sounds like my runs to Aldi's....Did the same thing only mine was only $71.....got a bunch of stuff to make the food for my grandson's graduation party today.....he graduated yesterday....739 graduates and we were in and out in two hours....they have it down pat....probably did another 3-4 schools same day....His other grandmother who lives right around the corner from them, didn't come because it was too far to walk, too many people, yadda yadda....I wasn't looking forward to being with all those people (probably ten thousand) but I would not have missed it for anything....I wore my mask (but had to take it off to talk to my son and dil as they rely on lip reading a lot since my fingers don't work real well with signing anymore and I have forgotten a lot of the words.......I think I was more upset then my grandson....you park in handicap, walk thru security, take the elevator, walk out and walk ten steps to the section, go down ten steps to your seat.....she walks better then me and could have done it.....I walked down the steps and it was A LOT of steps....I just hung on the railing and said excuse me to those hanging out on the steps and they all moved for me....I don't understand people.....
Got up this morning and made the charcuterie board, ham and cheese sliders, and dessert tray....made strawberry shortcake, banana pudding shots, and had chocolate cupcakes, apple bites, and cream puffs also....they had a ton of food.....only a few showed up as it's the holiday weekend.....
Sister was suppose to leave Wednesday but now it's Thursday cause her dil son tested positive and he lives downstairs from her....it's time....six weeks is a long time....I always thought I was a great hostess but now that I'm older I find I'm not.....
We have nothing planned for rest of weekend....traffic will be horrific to the beach so that is out....it's been in the 90's here....
Hope everyone has a safe holiday....
