Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl

Today is Wendy's 43rd birthday.  Hard to imagine!  Wishing her the most perfect day and a year filled with everything good!

I love you sweetheart, more than you can imagine and I'm proud to be your mom.  xoxoxo

The Martineau's Come to Visit...Day 6

We met at Ollie's Pond at 11:00 and walked around the mile loop.

Some of the path is open,

While other sections are more secluded.

Bill, Tessa and I only went around once, Wendy and Dan went around again after we left.  They planned to spend the afternoon hanging out by the pool.

We got our coffees and sat on a bench at Bayshore Park, rather than in the truck, which is where we've sat most days.  

Wendy and Dan came over around 5:30 for dinner.  Bill grilled fillets to go along with the twice baked potatoes.  They brought green beans from the farmer's market, ice cream and a flourless torte.  We ate at 6:00, played three games of dominoes, had dessert and played three more games of dominoes. 

Of course, we had to celebrate Wendy's birthday again, with candles this time ;o)

We did have this outtake of Dan with torte on his teeth, which I didn't notice until Wendy mentioned it.

Dan won dominoes, Bill lost, again.  Dominoes is not Bill's game.  However, he's a good sport and a good loser (unlike someone we know who shall remain nameless.)

Celebrating a Special Someone

We picked them up around 9:30, went to the farmer's market and Mercer's, where we sat outside and ate the macaroons we bought at the market.  We went to the beef store and bought things for dinner later, then dropped them back at home.  They did their thing, we did our thing for the rest of the afternoon.

We always try to celebrate Wendy's birthday when they come to visit, even though it's a little early.  Then we celebrate again when we get home, even though it's a little late...

I bring these candles from Maine every year!

This is one of the best pictures of Bill in, like, forever!

We had filets, stuffed potatoes, broccoli and portobello mushrooms for dinner; lemon cake, strawberries and whipped cream for dessert and we played Racko.

Happy early Birthday Sweetheart!!!  We Love You!

An Early Birthday Celebration

Not a very nice Florida day...cloudy and cool.

We got off to a lazy start, didn't leave the house till 11:30.  Wendy and Dan were on their own for the day.  We walked from the church to Laishley Park and back so we could look at the cars being auctioned.  We enjoyed coffee on the harbor before picking up filets and potatoes at Beef Country for Wendy's birthday dinner.  We also got a gluten free cake and ice cream at Publix.

We ate lunch at home and drove to W & D's place around 3:00. We sat around the pool visiting and ate dinner at 6:30.  It got cool, so we moved inside for dessert.

Happy, Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl!

I actually brought these candles from home in anticipation of this celebration.

Wendy opened her gift (more to come when we get home) and we left around 8:30.
