The Big 54???

I don't know if 54 is big or not, but it beats the alternative. Saturday was my birthday and I had a fantastic day. In fact, I had a fantastic weekend. Starting with Friday night, we went to dinner with several friends then went to see a local production of "Hairspray". Both the dinner and the play were fantastic!

On Saturday, we went to breakfast with three other couples - some of our most cherished friends - and had a wonderful time of fellowship.

The afternoon was spent cleaning up from the installation of our new flooring.

Here is our new laminate tile. We did the entry, down the hall to the dining area and the kitchen.



Maybe next year, I will do the countertops.

Continuing with our weekend...

Saturday night we went to some friends' house for a pre-Valentine's day party. There were 8 couples and we played the Newlywed game. I don't remember when I have laughed so much.

Here are a couple of pictures of the two sets of contestants.


Then, to cap off our weekend, after our small group study on Sunday afternoon, we had several people over for a Super Bowl party. None of us were die-hard Steelers or Packers fans, but in our house we were Cheeseheads this weekend in honor of our son Clayton. Go Pack!!!

So there you have it, a recap of the best birthday ever - spent with friends and family. The only thing that could have improved it would have been having my kids here, but I know they were here in spirit.

Thanks to everyone who made my day - dare I say, weekend - so very special. Here's to 54 more!!!
