# 1 New York Times Bestselling Author Fern Michaels Annual Party
All I can say is “Ride Sally Ride”! I’m still singing that song (for those of you that don’t know, it’s Mustang Sally) and it is Wednesday night! A great time was had by all that attended #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Fern Michaels annual party last Saturday Night! We celebrated with the Butterfunk Band from the Big Easy and they were FAB-U-LOUS! We started the party the weekend before (September 6) when Fern’s Granddaughter Kelly got married out at Folly Beach, South Carolina at the Holiday Inn. Stay tuned for those pictures and posts! Then we continued into the week with getting the porch and gardens ready for the big party. Saturday dawned sunny and no rain! The staff and I started our day early with some cinnamon rolls from Lois our Director of Deliveries. She is a great cook and keeps us well fed. We needed our energy to blow up over 400 balloons! I left the flowershop around noon to start putting out the balloons. I hung them all over the property and they really added a lot of color and pizzaz to the party atmosphere.
