Friend Annual Birthday party

 One week ago our youngest daughter and husband took us out to eat at Lunds Landing in ND.  This was to celebrate both of our Birthdays.  This is the resort where our grandson Ansir works.  Here you can see him serving us.

 After we had eaten, we all indulged in a special treat for our Birthday.  Pie with Ice Cream. Ansir  got to join us and we had a nice visit.

 I chose the famous to Lunds landing, JUNE BERRY PIE!   It was great, my grandson makes many of these June Berry pies for the restaurant, he waits tables, cleans up and keeps up cabins, paints and dose yard work.  He is the jack-of -all-trades while at work 3 days per week.


TONIGHT AT OUR ANNUAL FRIEND BIRTHDAY PARTY!      

 We had planned to have our picnic at a cute road-side camp ground in the Black hills but due to storm clouds and lightning, we decided to have it under a city park shelter.  It was still a very fun time.

 We have 6 of our group with birthdays in 3 weeks time.  Since this was a big  65 birthday for our friend Rich, he got the honor of going through the food line first.  We were not far behind and there was more then plenty great food dishes to chose from.  YUM-YUM!

 Here is the pile of cards and gifts that were gathered for the 6 birthdays.

 Of coarse, the men sat at one table and us women sat at another.  

 We even had delicious chocolate cake with Ice Cream.
 How are we supposed to lose weight with all these terrific foods?  

 Below Leslie dishes up Ice Cream for her dad, Jim.

 Opening cards.   Here Jeff opens his cards, Cal holds up 3 that He received.

 Patty with the traditional sticker covered card from Rogene.

 Rich with the 1947 booklet card with many details from the year he was born.

 YEA!  Just what he wanted.  No better gift for the man who always has a fly swatter in his hand!

 Maybe he could even squish them between these two connected fly swatters.

 Now to see what is in this package!

 WOW!  Now this is some fly/bee swatter.

 Yep, even with getting older and slower,  you can hardly miss with this hummer of a swatter!

There he is after the bee's and fly's as his wife Rogene opens her cards and gift.  
It is a special time we enjoy with our friends and a special gift from our loving Father in Heaven to celebrate another year of life.  Our prayer is that He would use us all according to His perfect plan.
