Leaving the Lake

Lake Oconee is losing a key person this weekend because she is moving up to Tennessee to start a new chapter of her life together with her husband. I know there is a bunch of folks that are staying behind with bittersweet hearts - they are sad because they won't get to enjoy her company as often as they are used to but they are happy because she is happy.

So naturally, we threw a party to celebrate and enjoy her company just a little bit longer... the masterminds behind the surprise:

Of course, you can't have a party full of Food and Beverage people without lots of Food (there was more on the other table)

And Beverage:

Then she showed up - and boy was she SURPRISED!!!!

Then we spent time with friends who are family and enjoyed each other's company.

Not sure about the one on the left...

And whenever there is music, Kerrie and Fern - there is dancing and (bad) singing with "microphones"

Then she opened presents:

And cried...

Kerrie: I know you are leaving a big gap and I am grateful for not being "left behind" - I wouldn't know what to do without you down the street from me. I never thought I'd say this, but I am glad I left first.

And yes, I am aware that I am messing up her hair.
