| party that was pretty much catered by, of all places, | | | | To make your party even more special, make a |
| Costco. No, they didn't send a server, they didn't | | | | flower centerpiece from Costco's flower center. You |
| arrive hours earlier and transform the house, didn't | | | | could even buy your dishes, silverware and glasses |
| clean up the dishes. But they did provide delicious | | | | there. You, in essence, could have nothing in the |

| We had a scrumptious, already prepared and cooked | | | | wanted. |
| chicken, boiled small red potatoes, steamed broccoli, | | | | Now, that might be going a little far. Most people |
| a spring mix salad, and fresh fruit for dessert. A little | | | | have the basic table necessities before they invite |
| wine (yes, Costco again) and the meal was complete. | | | | others over to share food, but it's that pesky meal |
| As the guests sat around devouring the good food, | | | | that seems to throw people. So next time you want |

| hostess was as relaxed as I've seen anybody be at | | | | You can go to Costco or your local grocery store |
| a party. And why shouldn't she have been? She | | | | and buy, already made, delicious food so all you have |
| saved herself lots of work and the finished product | | | | to do is sit back and watch everyone have fun. |
