Happy Birthday!

My husband turned 40 last week.  I spent the last couple of months doing a power point slide show of pictures set to music to show at his surprise birthday party.  Turns out the only surprise was that the music didn't work when the slide show was played through his laptop, which was connected to a projector and shown on a pull-down screen at the Follow Me Bar at the O'Club.  The presentation went well, other than that, though, and the party was fun. 

His birthday present was a bar - the wooden kind, with a canopy which holds glassware, and a cheesy Cantina sign on plastic, which we will replace with a real stained glass sign that will say either "Slainte" (cheers, in Gaelic), or "Tim's Pub".  His call.  It's been fun stocking the bar, and we had friends over last Sunday night, and are having more friends over tomorrow night to "break it in".  Tim looks right at home behind the bar, and this may just be good practice for a follow-on career at the end of his time in the Marine Corps (I hope not..........).  What we save on our O'club bill will probably equal what we spend on entertaining at home, but it's all good!!!

Reviewing old pictures for the PP presentation had me reflecting on how many wonderful memories we have, and how many truly great people we can call our friends.  We have been blessed!
