Birthday Shopping

Democrat BBQ

Look who was at the annual Democrat BBQ last night!

Trails West!

Happy Birthday

Kelly, Rodney, Andrew and Adam sent a teapot and cup filled with flowers for my 70th birthday.

 And Rodney sent me a special gift from Rush Limbaugh: a case of patriot tea.

No kidding.

My brother-in-law Barney took me to chicken night at the Country Club...my favorite food and favorite place to eat. Afterwards, sister Dot and I sat on their patio and looked at our old blog posts on her new I Pad.
By the way, I gave two bottles of Rush's tea to Barney and Dorothy. They were moderately happy to have some.

 Life in the 70s is real good.

And this is what 70 looks like. *he he he*

St. Joe Avenue DQ

Here's sister Dot anticipating a Dairy Queen treat. Barney took us on a nostalgia tour of the North End...with the final stop at the DQ where Dorothy worked back in the day. I got a sundae with chocolate sauce, caramel and nut toppings. No calories, of course, when eaten with memories.

Excellent Women

Here are some of the excellent St. Joseph women who attended the annual luncheon sponsored by the local YWCA. (left to right) Joyce Edwards,  (Joyce's grand daughter) Maggie Johnson, me, (my luncheon guest) Dawn Hirter, and (my sister) Dorothy Tietz.
