A Birthday Celebration



We helped Vince celebrate his 55th birthday yesterday -- and we had a darned good time doing it. Sandy drove down from Omaha and brought a delicious appetizer (recipe courtesy of Shel). Of course, Sam was here, and Erin and her boyfriend, Jason, also participated in the festivities.

Here is a photo of Vince after being presented with some birthday prizes. We normally have a "no gift" rule, but some folks claimed to not know about it. See if you can guess what the gifts are!!

And for those of you who are interested in our WFO (pronounced woof-oh) progress --wood-fired oven-- here is a photo of the brick arched doorway that Vince just finished today.

I took this photo a little prematurely because Vince did some "smoothing" of the mortar between the bricks, so the actual archway looks a little more polished.

We're hoping if weather/time cooperates that we will be having an inaugural pizza party very soon!
