Last Saturday night, we went to a surprise party for Joe’s parents’ friend Brian’s 50th birthday. Brian’s kids and their significant others, as well as another couple, met us at Joe’s parents’ cabin for snacks and then we all caravaned to Doris and Carl’s cabin. Brian was totally surprised. he thought everyone was getting together for a neighborhood cookout.

We all…well, most of us…ok, us younguns put on party hats and got into the celebration. It was great fun. We cooked out (even grillers for moi, the vegetarian) and just hung out and talked and watched Brian open his presents, most of which were gag gifts.

The picture joe’s mom took of us sitting on the couch is iIthink by far the cutest we have of us.
