happy 80 to barb!

 To celebrate Barb's milestone birthday, we all got together in the private room at Angeli's, her favorite restaurant. Erin made the arrangements and even talked them into serving her favorite dish, which had been retired from the menu. Despite some technical difficulties getting the slide show to work (I have been scanning old family photos to make a digital archive for years now, and it was finally time to put them to use!) we had an absolutely lovely evening, filled with laughter and surprises.

Barb was thrilled to have Mike and Johnny and the grandkids there (and I guess me and Erin, haha), and her brother Ken and nephew Aaron flew in from Colorado for the occasion, which was a real treat for us all. Especially for Mike, who adores Uncle Ken and loves any chance to catch up with Aaron. Anyway, the wine flowed freely, the food was delicious, and the conversations were lively. I'm so glad we were able to do this for her.

Happiest of birthdays, Barb! Here's to many more celebrations!
