In so Many words- My 54th (yes, 54, Fifty Four, Five Score & Four- well you get the Idea) Birthday...
gleh-
My Daddy had this saying... 'If I Had Known I Was Gonna Live This Long, I'd Took Better Care Of My-Self"
There were two Spur-of-the-Moment Soirees-
One involving Debbie, her middle son Ben, and Copious amounts of Chinese Food...
Big Brown Bags of Chow-Mein, Sweet and Sour, Fried Rice, Kung Pao, and Sesame Noodles...
Oh Yeah- Looks Good !!
Tastes Even Better !!
Ben, wanting me to get thru with the photo-op and 'Lets Get On With The Eating"...
Poor Debbie- what she Has to Put up with !?!
They brought me pressies- a Trifle Bowl, Pringles potato chips, a Huge container of late Blueberries- ummmmm-
And now...
If you are not Easily Frightened...
Or Faint of Heart...
-maybe you should Gird Your Loins, ( that always sounds like you should be tying Pork Chops together with twine to me for Some Reason)...
Here is my hot, sweatty, overwrought and underwhelming, Absolutey NO make-up, hair spray, or other Artifical Enhancement---
Me--- and my pretty B-day card...
...and do try to Ignore the cobwebs in the window corner-
I Saw You---
You looked, didn't you ?
Then the next day Shirley brought over a Scrumptious Supper of 'Southwest Orzo Salad' with sun dried tomatoes and black beans--- Really delicious too !! (no pics, sorry...)
A Sesame Street Banner ( Age appropriate I'd say)
Elmo !! Big Bird !! Cooookie Monster !!
Elegant Table Setting with a fine selection of Liquid Libation...
Shirley getting ready to take a PiKtsHur of me blowing out candles...
Ah---- Wheeeezeeee...
We even had Confetti Balloons !!
Shirley taking my photo whilst I was taking hers... Original eh ?
An outdoor Clock/ Themometer with Wrought Iron around... That we thought was defective/broken...
Until the next day we figured out we put the battery in backwards...
Bamboo Wind-chime...
Shirley always remember the Girls too- Here is a Nummery selection of 'Gourmet Seafood Appetizers in a Delicate Sauce'...
Alice partaking of said 'Delicate Sauce'....
