I mentioned to Lynn that I hadn't ever really had a birthday party (except for a couple of friends when I was a kid). With this one being my mailbox party (65), Lynn went to town!
While my actual birthday was on Monday (22nd), the celebrating actually started on Saturday night as my very special friends the Woods, came down from Stirling and we had our own special time at Gus and Guido's.
As someone commented, every available spot in the condo was covered with decorations or food! Even the bathrooms!
Here's the fine ladies that were responsible for the majority of the food, Lynn and her sisters, Debbie, Darlene and Allana. Even though there were over 70 guests at the Open House, more than half the food and goodies were left over (evidently a Hughes tradition) which all got taken away for further enjoyment.
Bud and Judy, two of the best siblings you could ever have.
The youngest guest was my sweet little Grand Daughter Maia.
I didn't even make my sister cut the cake!
My good friend and mentor, Merritt Wood.
Stevie Mac and his beautiful wife Christine.
Long time special friends Paul and Jean Kennnedy.
Just some of the wonderful friends, family and neighbors that attended. It was a very special and memorable day that I will never forget.
And what did I get for my birthday you ask?
I have wanted a Fender Telecaster since I was 15 (50 years ago folks!). Never in my life did I think I would ever play one never mind own one!!! My sweetie came through in Aces!
Lynn's brother-in-law Wayne recently did a great job on my instrument rack and the Telly is a great way to finish it off!
