I love it when a plan comes together.

The art show that is affiliated with the Azalea Festival is the biggest thing our art organization does.
Planning is detailed and seems to take forever. I am involved in several aspects of it, all voluntarily of course.
Last night was the opening reception, and there were at least twelve of us working diligently in the old USO yesterday to make it a roaring success. I love to watch how things come together, with each person doing what she does best but also kindly helping in any situation. One seems to love to do table settings and makes sure everything is draped perfectly. A couple of women brought in long stems and flowering branches and made huge beautiful arrangements. Someone who had worked in food service made hundreds of pretty skewered hors d'oeuvres along with her helpers. Elaine brought hundreds of delicious homemade dessert items. I made five hundred pinwheels! Kay made a fabulous fruit tray. Barbara made the punch. Members brought bottles of wine to be served from the two wine stations. The many attendees (400?) loved it. And did they eat! We didn't have a crumb left, and that was just fine.
This morning we were all patting each other on the backs for a job beautifully done.
