another year gone by

I got to celebrate another year of my life for a few days last week.  I am not one that loves to sit around lonely -- so I decided to throw myself a birthday "party."  The night before my birthday I invited a few friends and their children over to swim.  That pool is coming in handy for get togethers.:)  It was very low key - the kids played and we chatted.  My Dad couldn't believe how much we talked...lol.

Lunch at Lucilles with a great family!
The next day Philip was able to come home for a bit so we all headed to lunch at Lucilles (my new favorite bbq place) and then home for a yummy cake that Dad and Libbie picked up the night before.

These two took care of getting me a few gifts and getting the cake.  Apparently, Libbie took the reins in the whole shopping spree and dad just followed and paid the bill.  Good job Libs!

Libbie led the family in one of the worst renditions of Happy Birthday I have ever heard.  I laughed all the way through it -- they all get my vote for giving it their best shot!


It was a great couple of days spent with some great people!!

Looks like you had a great birthday...so happy for you! I can't believe I'm the mother of a 40 year old AND a 38 year old! Yikes!!!!! Kenna just told me you guys are coming the last week in July...maybe I'll have figured out a present by then!

Your dad is so cute. He was a good sport to "host" those talkative guests! Did you tell him, it's just that we're getting all our problems out and solved in one night? :) Thanks for having us-it was a GREAT birthday party!
