Celebration ~!

What a weekend ~ Today, I am more than tired.  Saturday evening was a birthday celebration for my good guy and man of the house, Mr. W or, as some call him, "hammock-man".  This party was all about him - his friends, his beer, his night, his music ~ a surprise party. I don't know what happened to my camera or anyone responsible to take the pictures, but this is all I have.  There were drinks served that could have started an engine, so....  I will say, it was a very GOOD evening. 

Mr. W. on his birthday, before things got started .....

It was supposed to rain and I was planning a cookout.  At the last minute, maybe Thursday, I decided I couldn't deal with the rain and decided to cater a barbecue dinner. It was so worth it.  No stress. 

Everyone's table had a bouquet of my zinnias. They were so pretty.

Every man here said he owned a jacket like that at that age.  So funny.  Everyone signed their birthday wishes to Mr. W. He loved it. 


Our woods were sparkling with all the grapevine balls up in the trees throughout the woods.  No rain, clear night.  It looked magical.


 We'll just call it a "wine-tasting" ..uh, umm.....


And, of course the birthday cake.  I found it this morning looking like this. 

I know you tire of horse pictures, but just had to throw in the evening shot here.  The yearling is settling down (still not out with Ace yet), and things are good. 
Have a good week, Debi
