Steve's 60th Birthday

What's a birthday without cake?
We had "two" cakes!
Both were very, very good.
Of course, I have not downloaded all the photo's onto my blog from Steve's birthday party, only a few. So enjoy what's here.

My brother John, Steve & Dan use to hang out together in high school.

This photo is the high school gang.

(Of course, I didn't hang out with them in high school.....I'm just in the picture.)

Brother's: Joe & Steve

Brandon made corn hole boards. He did a great job on them. So, we played a couple games of corn hole. That was fun! I got a kick out of Jane, Steve's cousin, she was havin' a blast! She got so excited! It was so cute. She was Steve's partner.

I believe this cake is a replica of a

'55 Chevy.

The other cake.

Yum 'O!

Stacy, Tam-e, Steve & Brandon

Not sure how this video will view on my blog page, but I guess if nothing else, you'll get the gist of what's on it. For those of you who might not know, Steve is singing the first song, "Just a Swingin'". (I think that's the name of it.)

Before I forget, a "huge" big Thank You to Leslie Bebout for the last minute song contribution that I desperately needed to finish the video. You're the greatest Leslie!!!! And then some.

Today Steve is celebrating his 60th birthday.
Happy Birthday, Steve!

The kids had a surprise party for him this past Saturday. What a surprise that was.....NOT! He's always been a person who you think is not listening or not aware of some things, but in all actuality, he's "definitely" aware.

I occupied his time for the day of the party. We went to Stacy's to hang her hardware for her curtains, and then we went to dinner. Of course, he kept buggin' me, trying to figure out what time we had to be back. I did end up telling him. Sorry, B.J. & Tam-e. At least I had him there at the right time.

The video was to be Stacy's project, but being who I am, there are times I take over, and that's what I did with this video. In one of my previous post, I said I found how to make a movie on my computer. So cool. It was a reason to take over, and I wanted to do this for the kids. It also gave me the satisfaction that I could be involved with this surprise.

This time I couldn't figure out how to get the thing posted. Persistence is the key I guess. Because it finally worked.

I've added a few more photo's of that evening. Although there were only a few showed up, we had fun. Lots of cake & homemade ice cream. Yum! The kids did a good job!

Once again......

Happy 60th Birthday

Steve!

Picture day

Recently I was able to visit Tam-e & her family.

(I had purchased a picture frame with five slots.......I thought......YES! One for each grandchild how perfect.)

So while I was there, I took pictures of the kids. It's great having a digital camera. I can take as many as the card will hold and discard the ones I don't like. But I still love my "film/negative" SLR camera. I've learned several different things recently with the digital though, which helps. Eventually this new camera will grow on me.

I've even learned something new about my computer.....I can make movies!

I'm trying to get my very first movie to download.......doesn't seem to be working for me. I will keep trying though. So watch for the post.

Alas.....the video finally downloaded. I guess it just needed time.

Now remember as you watch this that I used only what I had available to me music wise. So the songs don't really go with the pictures.

Hey....what do you expect for my first try and trying to figure out how to work this new thing I have found. Later I will do one for the boys, so watch for that post. Hopefully, I can remember what I did. Ha!

Enjoy the photo's!

I've SEEN it ALL!!!!

On my way home from church today, I noticed this person walking in their front yard. I couldn't believe what I was about to see next........Oh MY!

I thought they were "mooning" a neighbor, but NOPE.....they were getting prepared to go to the bathroom in their yard. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

It apparently wasn't their first time doing this....the way they were positioned, indicated they had done this before. I guess the animal comes out in some!!!

On that note, HAVE a GREAT & WONDERFUL DAY.........................don't get caught with your pants down! Ha!

Kinnard Get Together

Jarred (Gary & Marsha's son.)
I was invited to attend the Kinnard Reunion on July 4th. This wasn't the typical reunion. Laura Lee's sisters and niece were coming home for a visit. Although she wanted to invite others, she thought she would limit it to the ones who knew her sister's the most.

It was a nice day. Even the weather was good. A bit chilly at times (sun not out), but good. The rain held off for us.

As usual I slept most of the way going up and 99.9% of the way coming back. I was tired. Thanks Steve for driving and asking me to tag-a-long! It was good to see the family.

Sunset

As I drove home from Stacy's on Sunday. I noticed the sun was a pretty color. Of course, the colors didn't show up in the photo. It looks like a big ball on top of the trees.
