Hello! It's Blue Monday! For complete instructions, just click here.My computer needed a new hard drive! I guess I'd used it up! I took it to the Apple Store and they kept it overnight. It's all fixed and happy now, and the good news is that it only cost a little over $200. (Just think what a new computer would have cost!) Thanks for all of your good thoughts and comments last week.
See what other Blue participants have to share by clicking on their photos. Make someone's day when you wish them a Happy Blue Monday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Johnny and I belong to a large church, and every month there is a luncheon for seniors. Usually more than 200 attend. The theme for the month of August was a Luau. You'll notice the colorful Hawaiian shirts that many wore. Of course, there was plenty of Blue.
Here you see the Blue tablecloth, as well as some Blue clothing.
Notice the placemat with a Blue Hawaiian scene. The center piece contains sand and sea shells. Yes, that's pineapple upside-down cake for dessert. The hot meal has never disappointed us! They have a super cook.
These large, plastic mugs in various colors were take-home treats. They were stuffed with tissue, making the table even more festive. Of course, I took a Blue one home!
This sweet Blue card was placed on each table.
Here's a close-up for you to read.
The pastor in charge of the Joy ministry (seniors) is Phillip Hanes. Each month he wears a Blue apron. (I think it's to match his Blue eyes.) The only reason you don't see him with a huge smile is because I caught him as he was speaking. He does a fantastic job ministering to us seniors.
There's an entertainment part after we've eaten. Here, a mother/son, dressed in Blue make beautiful music for us.
Happy Blue Monday!

Hi Sally! You share some great fun! Always good to be part of this and I wait patiently each week to share my blues. Thank you for hosting! Hugs Anne
Hi Sally, Your church dinner in honor of the seniors is awesome. What could be more colorful than a Luau? I can see by the photos that it was a fun time and good food too. Yum, pineapple upside down cake is my fave.
You will understand my post when you see it tomorrow. I needed a smile.
Love, Jeanne
Glad your computer is all fixed and working well! Your church dinner luau looked like a lot of fun, Sally. I loved that Irish blessing that was on the card. Happy Blue Monday!
Hello sweet Sally!
What a wonderful dinner in honor of the Seniors. Very pretty blues here too! There is a 'blue tablescape' in my Fall 2012 post too. Thank you so much for the great BLUE Monday party. Have a blessed week my friend.

This I can see was a lot of fun. Good food and great looking upside down cake..
Computers are such a pain. We just went through taking care of a virus , It was one of those clicks I did that either answer was gonna get me. I know what to do next time. Thank you for hosting

Hi Sally
Happy Blue Monday!
I reckon $200 is a bargain to fix your computer - but you should have told us, we'd have had a whip round for sure. Where would we be without you able to launch our Blue Monday blogs?! ;)
Your Hawaiian church dinner looks a lot of fun.
Aloha for a great week.

Oh, they had a nice experience! Of those days we are living for a long time ...
Happy blue Monday :-)
What a sweet mother and son duo. And Pastor Hanes looks cute in his blue apron. I love the art on the place mats. You all must have had a great time. Great church. Thank you, Sally and happy Monday.

Such a colourful event, with loads of friends and enjoyable food! And blue, of course!
Happy Blue Monday, Sally!
So many different blue things, Sally! Looks like a fun event too..
Thanks for hosting Blue Monday each week, Sally :) Lots of beautiful blues! Spring greetings from Australia♥ ~Pernilla
Don't you just love celebrations that are accented with blue? I do!
Great initiative for the community, Sally!
Thanks for hosting.
This is such a great idea. And all the blues are lovely. Thanks for hosting.
You've brought us another party!! Looks like it was a fun time :)
This lunch sounds like a fun time!

Great luau "blue" photos! Nice to meet the pastor and see mom/son musicians. All the details are quite lovely. You are blessed, Sally!
Oh how fun! So colorful.....Christine
I really like the name of your group Joy Ministry. It's great to have a large congregation that can have so many wonderful events to worship. The theme was wonderful as were the colors.

A nice party! I've enlarged the link Blue Monday!
Yes, Blue Hawaii. Was Elvis in the house?
Hi Sally~ I have shared a special Blue this morning... 15000 paper cranes!

Blues Happies!!
Sorry, I am late again, but have to do my yard work while it is a little cooler.I think it is wonderful you have this group to share time and have fun. We are a smaller church with nothing but seniors. We barely have 200 members all total. The neighborhood I live in, no young folks to visit or come.Glad things are back working normally again.
Love the sentiment on the blue card and it looks like a fun time to be had by all. Happy Blue Monday Sally!
What a wonderful activity! How nice that your church treasures the seniors and does this for them every month! I love the theme, that is one of the great things we like about living in Florida. There are numerous occasions to wear tropical shirts!
Hi Sally. I just found your blog from a link I was visiting thru another challenge-Mandarin Orange Monday. Lovely blog and photos! Soon as I get my son here to help me out I'll add your challenge badge to my blog :)
How nice Sally to belong to such a lovely group and people giving you nice times. Hve a nice week
looks like a lot of fun, happy Monday :)
Looks like a very colourful party :) sorry I forgot to comment in connection with entering my own post... too many things to think of all at once! (evidently) :)
That seems to have been a wonderful party!Wonderful to have this group to share it all with.The cake looks delicious.
It's great that you got your computer repaired. Your church event looks like lots of fun. I particularly like the blouse the singer is wearing in the last photo, very artistic. I assume they are singing something Hawaiian, with the ukelele?
Sally, I'm Carmen of Carmen's Chronicles...somehow I put the wrong url, not today's post and I can't remove it and redo it. Can you help?
Well, my Carmen's Chronicles is now up properly.
How nice to belong to a senior group that does such nice things. If I'd stay home long enough, I might find one. I'm living in India for six months and won't return to the San Francisco area until Dec 3.
How wonderful to have such a large group of seniors that you can socialize with each month!
Hello Sally, this is an awesome church luncheon. It's always a wonderful fellowship when people are having so much fun at the same time.
I'm tempted by that pineapple upside down cake. I feel like searching the food stores for one right now.
I wish you a great week. I'm happy to participate in Blue Monday again and check out many blue posts :)
Hi Sally, I tried to link in your beautiful Blue Monday Party and I I could not... it's a little difficult, can you help me?
