We spent a quite enjoyable evening with friends. Deb and Pete plied us with delicious food and drink. Then we got to tour both their back and front yards with all the landscaping they have added since our last visit. Anne grew glorious sunflowers this summer and there are a few still surviving in the summer heat. Al’s butterflies are in all sorts of wonderfully whimsical places. There’s a frog’s house and a white ceramic pig. There’s blueberry and raspberry bushes and a delightful freeform patio sitting/grilling area. Then the four of them surprised us with birthday cake and champagne. The fact that the cake was scratch made and hand decorated by Anne made it even better. It was a great evening.
We loved having you! It was a joyous evening to be sure.
Wish we could be there for the next birthday celebration. Hope a wonderful time will be had by all. Our love to Al, and to all of you.
