Flag Day is on the 14th of June, and it's also my friend Mary's birthday. It was her sixtieth. We had a party of six for a 60s themed lunch party. Mary graduated from high school in '69. She's artsy and a bit of a hippie. Our hostess, Lydia, has an amazing house, amazing yard, and an amazing view. She had 60s music playing, peace sign necklaces, and tie dye headbands for us to wear. Thanks to research on the Internet the menu was all the favorites of the 60s, Swedish meatballs, seven layer salad, jello, and rolls. For dessert we had the 1951 Best of the Pillsbury Bake-off Winner, double delight chocolate cake. It has a touch of peppermint flavor in the frosting, and frosting added to the cake batter to make it moist. We filled a 60s basket of gifts - Carole King and Bob Dylan CDs, candy from the decade like Boston Baked Beans, wax soda bottles, candy cigarettes, peace sign earrings, Pokey and Gumbo action figures and more. Yummy lunch, great atmosphere, old friends, and a trip down Memory Lane.
I put my flag out too. It looked so pretty that I decided to keep it out all summer.
