Mums 2 the RESQ, INC.





I went WAY out of my comfort zone this past weekend to help a friend with her daughter's wedding reception. Mums 2 the RESQ,Inc was born when Dr. Snapp could't find a suitable caterer. So a few of us co-workers mentioned "I could do ..." this or that and it all made sense to carry out the plan. All the lunchtime planning sessions and hours figuring the details came to a wonderful conclusions Saturday. The wedding was out of town so we carried all the food and supplies, decorations, etc from Memphis to Clarksville (3 hours away if you don't get lost like I did twice). JoAnn(former caterer and excellent chef) made the chicken fracais and pasta salad &packed it ready transport. Sarah (with helper Jesse) cut fruit and veggies and picked up JoAnn's prepared things and came up Sat. am. Judy (from Boston) was the professional decorater and etiquette expert and came up with Hubby John Friday nite to be bright eyed ready to go to work with me Sat. 9 am. I was the cook- assigned to make the meat and cheese and shrimp platters and cook/serve meatballs and chicken and keep the buffet line stocked and going. Sarah and Jesse got to be the champagne and wine distribution staff too.All went off well. Pictures of the buffet table, reception room before and after (note flowers flown in from Hawaaii, and our little group of girls- Judy, Dr. Snapp, pat and Sarah. and the mice were so cute... see facebook for more on the wedding------
