From Vanessa of Detroit

I will be celebrating my 50th on November 2nd! I am so excited!! My daughter, family, and friends are planning the event to be held Saturday, November 4th at the Lathrup Village Community Ballroom in Lathrup Village, MI.

My family, friends from my childhood, church family, and others will be in attendance (as I have provided my list). The invitations were designed with "real" leaves on them, which were so very elegantly done by my daughter, Kristian, and dear friend, Ming! All of the other planning of is very "hush-hush"!

I am having a "Nigerian" seamstress make me a beautiful dress made out of a fabulous lace from Nigeria. I am so excited!

The day before, Friday, November 3rd, I will be surprising a few other "Fabulous 50's", six women from my family and childhood buddies all born in 1956, that all grew up together, with an "adventurous journey"! They will meet at my home by 6PM, to be driven via a "limo" to have appetizers at a "Northern Lake Seafood", then dinner at "Shiraz", and then dessert at "Coach Insignia"!! These are all very fine, highly reputable restaurants located in the Detroit Area! They are going to be "blown -away" with a "Golden Ladies - Night on the Town"!!!
