Sixty is Sexy

"Someone" in my family turned 60 on Sunday.
We won't name names but here's the gang waiting for this "someone's" arrival.
Here's the "someone" saying "Hey, what's going on here?"
We finally convinced him not to back out of the driveway so we could join the party!
Garland and Don were hard at work cooking up Wings and Tings.
(This was after Don had scrubbed the floors and vacuumed too! Go Don!)

Now, who is the sullen teenager on the cake? Those highwaters sure are...um...trendy?
Shy little wallflower, Judy, leading the singing of "Happy Birthday!"
Now, that's the spirit! Put that hot air to use!
Oops.. someone forgot to tell the kids about the cake.


Don is hoping that if he snuggles up, Tim will share his scotch.

And the 3 little introverted party-goers.
So, a success for the Super 60. Don, Lee, Garland, and Donna were incredibly gracious hosts - I couldn't have pulled it off without 'em. You guys are the best!

Psssttt, horses! There's a party up here!

I am so glad that he had a happy day and that he stayed to enjoy the celebration. I wish I could have been there.
