Just poking my nose in to say "Hi", then it's back to that w-o-r-k thing that's always lurking about.
Threw a dencently-sized party for my wife's 11th 29th birthday, yesterday afternoon. This was one of THE milestones, so I HAD to make it a substantial event.
We had more than three dozen guests, and most stayed for at least two hours socializing and noshing on my spread of victuals; everything from fresh shrimp with pineapple salsa, to cream cheese chili dip with corn chips, fresh fruit and veggie trays, cheese & crackers, and -- of course -- chocolate filled chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting garnished with a chocolate rose bouquet.
My Mother put on a pretty good deal for my brother's 40th, this year, and I took the family on the road to show up for that, so there was an established "floor" for the expected magnitude of this event. I think I succeeded in surpassing it. I know I exceeded my wife's expectations, so I should be good for another ten years, now.
My only problem going forward will be saving enough money in this dismal economy to do something bigger/better for her 50th. LOL!
That sounds wonderful. Good job.
Happy Birthday to your wife!
Happy Birthday, Mrs. HKMk23!!
By the time her 50th gets here, the economy will be running smoothly as a well-oiled clock!
