the only way to take the sting outta turning 49...














Yesterday started with plunging toilets, backing up into the showers and tub in both bathrooms....Rich had to rush to Home Depot to buy a sewage “snake.” After much fuss, cussing and perhaps a few prayers, he was able to fix our plumbing and although we were two hours behind schedule...the feverish pace ramped up...as we were having a birthday shindig tonight. So we cleaned up the soaked towels, thanks our lucky stars and headed out to do our prep work.

A mere five hours of frenzied house cleaning, backyard grooming and food prep...guests showed up perfectly on time, all with an appetite for fun, friends and food. Let the alcohol flow... as we had worked hard to get to the point in the day to revel in our friends. How lucky are we? So many wonderful, abeit crazy friends...and Anna, no group flashing (this time:P). And her Beau, Troy, once again acted as stealth photojournalist...you'll see he got a number of GREAT shots. THANKS MAN!!!

My only regret was not getting a group shot in front of Mike's cool ride, NEXT TIME! The burgers were great, the day gorgeous and night perfect. Thanks all for making both Rich and I feel so loved.


(Lisa you might see a couple empty wine bottles around- Woffard Wine was consumed and loved!!)

Happy happy happy birthday, Rich! Woo hoo! 49! Just remember, you'll always be older than me. Oh wait. That didn't sound the same in my head. :)
