A gala FIRST ANNIVERSARY party that was just as fabulous as the owners, their gardens and their menu

Take a picture tour of the day's happenings and you will probably see someone you know that was there for the celebration:

Bruce Littlefield, RonDeena Ross and Scott Stewart

If you remember the gardens last year, as beautiful as they were, they can't beat this year's lush show of greenery and a rainbow of floral colors. The garden is always a source of tranquility and a feast for the eyes.

And...the music was a perfect bluesy complement to the warmth from the bright sun with a soulful aura that cast its spell over the guests who listened to them out on the dining deck. Below are some other members of the band that I don't want to leave out....

The beat went on and so did the soulful strumming.....and then the dancing!!!

...and a final applause to this super band that kept "cool" even with the warmth of the Fourth's weekend heat

AND NOW FOR SOME FAMILIAR FACES IN THE CROWD...

Keeping cool by the spray from the fountain's soothing flow

Guests enjoying the garden walkway down to the creek...

And...guests who chose the shade of the dining deck and to be nearer to the "Sound of Music"

And...the area's, perhaps the world's, only Airstream  bar. Only in Rosendale!

Could it be? Yes it is! Restaurateur and Best Seller List Author, Bruce Littlefield, as seen through the Airstream Louvers!

And...the guests came in all different coutures!!! Rosendale Ware's finest on the right, of course!

Even Memphis, reigning canine from Rosendale Wares, sported her latest poolside poochwear for the summer season

The Garden Bar was a source of refreshing, complimentary drinks...on the "airstream" --so to speak

Two of Rosendale's finest businesswomen from Li Daniel's Realty and Rosendalewares

AND NOW FOR THE FOLKS WHO KEPT COOL INSIDE....(and near the complimentary food-steamed clams, sumptuous potato salad and macaroni salad, portabella mushrooms and then the heavenly angelfood cake crowned with fresh blueberries and raspberries...hmmmm good!)

I am sure some of these faces are a bit familiar!

And as always, the great floral arrangements at The Rosendale Cement Company

There even were gifts with Congratulatory Flair...

 Bruce and Scott

And after the hoopla and excitement start to die down, there is time for a bit of relaxation and comfort from owner to indispensible RonDeena for her managerial expertise... and time to just "kick back" and enjoy!

So that was the Star Event for the July Fourth Weekend and...

Please don't forget the Summer Box Lunches served daily at the Rosendale Cement Company

Hope you enjoyed the pictorial visit.
