One sunny weekend afternoon (what afternoons aren't sunny in NM?) Ida, Kathy, Angie and I got together to watch a movie. We had been discussing the Color Purple for weeks, and we decided to make a date to view it. We also decided to incorporate some craft time into the day, so we bought a paintable tea set. Each girl got a cup and saucer. We painted to our hearts content, and then used the cups for tequila.
Thinking of Ida also makes me nostalgic for Three-Dollar Cleavers Night. Whoever wanted to be part of this weekly Sunday evening extravaganza would simply supply me with three dollars beforehand. Once I collected that from each person, I would go to the grocery store, buy as much dinner stuff I could with the cash, and come home and cook for everyone. Usually we had meatloaf and mashed potatoes and peas. And salad, too. Don't forget the salad. I pretended to be June Cleaver all for a $3 cover charge. This all took place at Ida's house. She lived in the house with the best kitchen and dining room, so it was a given that dinner parties would happen there. I miss having weekends to do whatever.
Finally, Ida is part of one of the cutest girl pics ever. I will have to post it when I get home. It's an assembly of the aforementioned girl crew. We looked very sweet and good, but we were famous for making disgusting "your mom" jokes.
