Birthday time


Within the last several days we have been celebrating birthdays of both friends and family. Dennis turned 56 and Rachael threw him a party and invited us and Beth and Harold over for dinner and cake. Afterwards we taught Beth and Harold how to play Pitch (See Anne, the gift that keeps giving). They both seemed to enjoy the game and got good at it.

Tomorrow it is Rachael's birthday 5_. I am not sure of the exact number but ladies never tell anyway. We are celebrating this one at Beth and Harold's home and maybe watching the presidential debate or better yet, playing Pitch.

In the family, Marlene had a birthday yesterday and we called to wish her a happy day and learned they were going out for dinner at Sadie's Restaurant for excellent but very hot Mexican food. Jerry was leaving today to take his racing car to Nevada for a weekend of racing or practice.

Next, later this week, Traci is celebrating her birthday and so it continues. I always think November is the birthday month but it seems like September is quite full too.

HW2 has been making birthday gifts for this set of grands and we plan to leave them there today. They specifically requested new throws as their old ones are wearing out. If they read this they will not be surprised as they already know what is in the works. HW2 worked hard on them and was pleased to get them all finished. She left some for the Wisconsin grands too. She has been a very busy grammy.

Not to be outdone, I completed a wedding present for a young couple who got married in the spring and we took it over to them yesterday. It is a scene of their farm and was fun to create. I think we have pictures of the stained glass on this PC and will try to get them up on the blog so you can see the scene of their pretty Iowa farm. It was very foggy when we took it over yesterday, but HW2 took this picture of me holding the window in front of the house Quite a fun project!.
