Several sweet members of my family (and some equally sweet friends) journeyed here for a milestone birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise, but (thank goodness) I got a warning. (You know you all appreciated sleeping on clean sheets.)

The ladies didn't just drop in; they threw a party on my behalf. I'm sorry I didn't have the presence of mind to take more pictures. This is one of many my father tried to take of some of the "girls" that night. He took several shots, and someone always seemed to have their eyes closed. FORGIVE ME LADIES, but this one is just too funny.
