Today November 22nd is Richard’s 74th birthday, Eric’s 71st and tomorrow is Hal’s 70th birthday. A whole bunch of guys who are still fit and able and looking good! What more can you ask for!
Eric is in pants, socks and a t-shirt. He doesn’t wear bug spray and by dusk they will be biting. Makes it hard to have a party when everyone gets chewed up.
That’s Carol and Richard on the left and the soiree is at their place. They buy the pizza for everyone (how generous is that!) and the rest of us fill in with appetizers, salads and desserts. No one ever goes hungry when we all get together.
Marilyn and Cathy catch up. Marilyn and Dennis are renting a condo close by but they used to haul an RV and stay in the park until a couple of years ago.
Eric is talking to Sam. Sam has had a ponytail since we met him in 2009. And now….not! He just got his hair cut about a week ago. Looks good. Eric just got all his curly locks buzzed off this afternoon. The great hair experiment is over. Some people like his hair long and some people like the buzz cut….what do you think? Definitely easier to maintain.
That’s Helene protecting herself from the hot afternoon sun with her paper parosol. Looks a little “Miss Saigonish” don’t you think. A sweet lady.
Marilyn, Helene and Jeannette.
Anita, her husband John and Sam’s wife, Rita.
The appetizers are out and that’s Randall (Pam’s husband) in orange and Hal (Helen’s husband) on the right. Now who is it I spy in the middle? I don’t believe it….it’s Roger. Roger is usually a no show at these events but when I kidded him about coming he said “ Well….I’m an RVer now so I guess I have to join in!” Good…nice to see you. His twin brother Papa John did not come. These are the friendliest, nicest guys but they don’t really like crowds. My Eric sympathizes with them.
Marilyn, husband Dennis and Frank on the right. They are all good friends.
So here we all are….well not all of us. Some people are sitting to the left of the road hiding in the shade. They did move over when the food came out!
Pizza’s are here….time to eat. The motorcyle pizza delivery guy rolled in with his pizza delivery box and voila…pizza.
Pam at the table where thre are appetizers, salads, pizza and ….
now desserts. Fruit plates, scrumptious brownies and a tres leches cake.
At this point Robyn took the camera and said she should take a few pictures so I would be in some. Thanks!
Thats me me in the front eating.
It’s getting dark, the lights are pretty, we’ve all eaten and visited and…the bugs are biting.
Buenos noches!
Thanks Carol and Richard for another great pizza party and happy birthday Richard.
Grandpas are the coolest, aren’t they? We also celebrated our grandpa’s 73rd birthday last weekend in a very quiet and simple event space Chicago. He had the best time of his life with grandma and his friends. We all were there on his special day and enjoyed a lot.
