Awake: 7:23am Temp 59 sleep 6+49 rain, heavy @ times overnight @ Nicktown.
Due to the mothers who didn't want to work on mother's day, they postponed the church hall breakfast (1) week ....so today all mothers in Nicktown have a free breakfast with no strings attached. Of course, guys still pay.
About 8:30am, K& I motored to the church hall for a breakfast of: scrambles eggs, American fried potatoes, bacon, sausage, waffles with a choice of blue berries and/or cherries, toast, coffee, & orange juice. During the meal and/or after, we usually socialize with the folks we know. Today, we are also invited to my buddy Gary's 67th birthday party....starting @ 3:00pm.
As we exited our Suzuki, Gary wanted me to follow him to the lower garage to see what Rosemary got him for his birthday.
Wow! I had no idea. It's a "Trike" with low mileage & loaded with extra hi tech goodies. How did she know what to look for? I had to tell him that he was so lucky to have a woman that thinks so far ahead.
Since we were in the garage, I also had a chance to look @ his repaired riding lawnmower; the GT 5000 Craftsman. Thanks to his brother-in-law's talent, the engine that blew a gasket is now repaired & back to normal.
Back in their living room, we enjoyed an appetizer tray of assorted cheeses, crackers, & summer sausage, plus a bottomless glass of wine while we yakked about our latest activities & future plans.
Dinner was special; a real turkey dinner (Gary's favorite)
,with all the trimmings.
After dinner, we played (2) rounds of Diminishing Bridge, one of my favorite card games....even though I rarely win, I sure have fun trying to.
Dessert: Kathy presented her special gift of chocolate mice to Gary.
Now you know what those cherries & chocolate kisses were for.
The real dessert was an Angel Food birthday cake, complete with candles for Gary to blow out after we sang, "Happy Birthday" and ice cream.
It was another special visit & thanks guys, for the exceptional treat of the Turkey meal.
Back @ our M.H., Nick Skyped us for (19) min to let me know that I have no Squirrel Mail. He was renovating his computer hardware in Seattle & shut the wrong system down...which caused other problems he didn't have time to correct. He did say that I will have the Blog up & running & he will be getting my e-mail back on line soon.
Katrina called on her way to her condo from the airport. She had a busy weekend; the wedding of a colleague on Friday in Denver and a quick trip to Seattle on Saturday to be a part of Katie's bachelorette party Saturday evening/Sunday morning.
Lights out: 11:43pm.
