A Valentine's Day Party!
That is a very good reason to have a party!
Last night there were gusts up to 40 m/h (64 km/h) and I was afraid that this would truncate the party. The morning the wind still was on the breezy side, and a cloud cover was moving in around noon. But nothing could stop us from having fun!
Many turned out to party.
Lots and lots of sweet stuff


Good music!
 Lots of Fun! (There were more dancing once I stopped taking photos :))
My contribution was a cake I read about in a novel of Jan Karon. (Quote from the book named:  A Light in the Window "Esther Bolick's legendary cake..." " Her splendid orange marmalade cake was famed among all the local churches.")
The descriptions sounded so tempting, that I had to look it up on the internet.

Esther's Orange-Marmalade Layer Cake (for the recipe)


I had to make some minor adjustments but it turned out very well. Of course way too rich!
My version of Esther's Orange-Marmalade Layer Cake

I hope you liked it too!


And two more days to go....
