Birthday Anniversary Birthday Palooza Concludes

Our 5-day birthday-anniversary palooza has come to an end. My birthday Wednesday, our anniversary Saturday, and hubby's birthday today. I just had to share some adorable childhood birthday photos.

Carter looked like him at this age.

Casey resembles him here.

Bicentennial year. Whoo-hoo!

And this could be Clay. Brown-eyed legacy lives on.

If you're doing the math, you realize someone turned the big 6-0 today! He golfed at Bullseye Country Club while I caught up on a little housework, visited the chiropractor, then go a much-needed deep tissue massage. Standing for long periods of time for a week doesn't do any favors to your body. Even if I'm not 60!

Tonight we celebrated with our friends Craig and Sara (and Craig's sister and brother-in-law Jane and Kevin). Grilled out then cruised Nepco Lake in their pontoon. All day it was sunny and hot (as in 92). But once we hit the water, the clouds came, the temps dropped a bit and it was delightful!

Make a wish!

The top photo was Jim sporting celebration glasses and me with the birthday tiara.

With the girls!

Captain Craig.

The kiddos.

And even Prince E. the dog got into the partying spirit!

Gorgeous evening for a ride. The sun hit the top of one cloud in the sky. Otherwise, it was just gone.

Stopped for awhile by the dam for a swim. Not us, but three of them anyway. Then we saw some ominous skies and a forecast of rain and storms. So we pulled anchor and headed back.

Caught a little "heat lightning" on our way back. After docking, the winds came up and a little rain. But the radar is showing a potentially dramatic weather pattern while we're sleeping.

With the air cranked – tomorrow will be 91 – we hopefully won't notice. Either way, no alarms will be set in this house!

Have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July!
