The Third Party With Cake

The cake.

Lily and Jason on the Four-Wheeler.


My beautiful niece, Riley behind Uncle Glen on the four-wheeler.


The birthday cake with Jessie and Granny wiping her brow.


How many birthday candles have these two blown out together? One 22, one 84.

Tay-Tay, Hank, Shayla, May, Waylon, Billy, Kian, Linda, Sarah, Kathleen, Lucia, Jerry, Granny. Not in that order. If you're new here- well, sorry. Too much family/friend/neighbor blend to explain.
Let's just call it all family.

You know who. Eating cake.


May and Granny. Precious.


More.

My babies. Oh. My babies.

Owen, Auntie May-May, Vergil. Night-night kisses turning into adventure on the back porch.

Yeah. It was a wonderful third party.

Vergil is leaving to go back to Boulder tomorrow and I'm like, "Why? You're home already."
But that's a damn good way to feel. He and Jessie are spending the night. So are Lily and Jason and Owen. Lily and Jason have to be at work at six which means I'll be up with Owen in the morning.

I'd apologize for not being around to all ya'll's places but hey- it's been busy.

Happy birthday, Jessie. Happy birthday, Granny.

It's been a mighty fine day.

  5. It was another spectacular, fun and tasty Moon Production! I think that is what your parties should be called: "Another Moon Production"!
    hee hee!

    It was lovely.

    Elizabeth- Thanks, doll!

    Ms. Bastard-Beloved- We talked about how much we wish you had been here.
