Ninety Years Loved

Song - Happy Birthday Swing by the Lucky Seven





Two weeks ago I was at home and knee deep in flowers and loving every minute of it!



Even though today is my mom's true birthday, 
we had a little party for her two weeks ago to celebrate.







We celebrated at Il Fornaio in downtown Walnut Creek
 and the space turned out to work perfectly for us.  
It was a cold and rainy day but we had a room full of windows and happy guests.




Fifty-two of them to be exact because as you can see Betty is well loved!

Children were cuddled....




 ......flowers brightened the room......






....and cake was devoured!


A Very Happy 90th to you Mom!

Pre-Boo

Song - Werewolves Of London by Warren Zevon





Every Halloween Mr. B and I enjoy coming up with a design and carving our pumpkins.  For the last few years we have made it into a small party with family.  So on Sunday night........





The table was set with parsnip & carrot noses, carving tools and designing tools as well as gut buckets.  Andy even got out the power drill (behind the "noses").





As we began to work our magic everyone got quieter and quieter.......until.......




...Buddy showed up in his Lion costume and we all cracked up as he was so proud of his new look!





Ashley finished her pumpkin fast so she could have some cuddling time with Buddy-the-Lion.






After that Jack-O-Lanterns started popping out all over the place!



And the winner of this years event was Walter's sideways scary pumpkin!

Yikes!!!




 Then we all settled down for some delicious Tortilla Soup & Corn Bread.......






.......with our Jack-O-Lanterns lighting the night.



 As guests were leaving, we found Monica had sprouted fangs and Tyler forgot to go to the dentist....yuck!!!





As the night was winding down, Chewy fell promptly to sleep.
All of this monster stuff was too much for the little guy!!!

And Mr. B and I joined him shortly.

may luck be yours on Halloween"

So glad he wandered into my life...

Birthday Boy!

Song - Forever Young by Rod Stewart





Yesterday, July 27th was my oldest son's birthday and we will be celebrating tonight at our house with a BBQ.  Hopefully it won't be too hot and we can eat outside!!  Mr. B is making a huge Paella dish for the occasion.



He was the sweetest little boy growing up and now as an adult, he is still sweet, fun, interesting, thoughtful, entertaining, smart, creative & I could go on forever........





I just want to know one thing Andy.....just how did 34 years go by so quickly?

Happy, Happy Birthday!!!
