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!!
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!
