Celebration

Today was the official celebration of my birthday. (Lillie's too!). We started out with a quick shopping trip followed by some gardening. Ok Lots of gardening.

We mulched part of the back Garden. Just enough to get the many inpatients in. I love taking this week off and gardening with Mom. Last year she finished all of the mulching and left the fun task of planting the flowers to me (with her) while I visited. Unfortunately this year the weather has not been nearly as friendly. the mulching process has just started. Though we did get some planting in to offset the mulching. The weather though Sunny is particularly chilly, but once you get working you warm right up.

I spent a little time with the neighbors that just purchased the Kulps house. They are very nice, I followed the tour my mother was taking them on of the gardens at their new house. She was telling them what was planted where and giving some suggestions. They seemed to like the help and will likely be back for more gardening advise from their retired neighbors (my parents).

Anyway after a shower and quick lunch Pat came by and picked me up for a visit with his Grandpa (which had nothing to do with my Birthday). We got a little lost on the way over but I think it was worth it as his grandpa has not seen Pat in a while. it was a short visit though as we needed to get back to my birthday celebration!

Unfortunitly the baby got sunburn at some point and to add to the trouble she missed a nap. Needless to say she was a very unhappy baby. Waking her up ever so often as Dad was cooking nd everyone else seemed to be unable to sit still didn't help either.

We had a delishous dinner cooked by my father. Birthday cake for desert of course.

The parents made a b line for the door as soon as desert was over trying to get evelyn home and hopefully to bed for a good nights sleep. Every one but Pat was sleepy and went to bed fairly early. Pat went to his sisters house, he still had some party left in him.
