We are doing it again!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were up and moving early and joined Colleen at the breakfast room table for a pot of coffee and a recreation of last night’s family dinner.<\/p>\n

Colleen is beside herself with excitement to be going to her mom’s birthday party today with Joe and a few others.\u00a0 I asked what the plans were (since I, of course, was not invited), but the details were\u2026 aggressively vague.<\/p>\n

From what I managed to gather through careful investigation (and light interrogation), I think the 3:00 pm.\u00a0 “Lunch” will look something like this since Jeanette planned the event, Jeanette, who??<\/p>\n

Beer and wine are an extra charge!<\/p><\/div>\n

Colleen was up and running, so she would not miss the birthday party (it’s hard to find good possums these days), so we decided the hot tub would be a good idea.\u00a0 We soaked for an hour and then finished off a bottle of champagne!<\/p>\n

We stuck around the house and got ourselves ready for the Elks Lodge Valentine’s Day party this evening.<\/p><\/div>\n

We got ready for Robin and Bob to do a drive-by… they picked us up and drove us to the festivities, where we will spend the entire evening visiting our friends and celebrating our love!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is Valentine’s Day, so Mary tried on her first selection for the evening.\u00a0 \u00a0I have it a thumbs DOWN for the party but a big thumbs UP for lounging around the house!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was getting late, and Mary finally came out of the hot tub and was ready to go!\u00a0 She never spilled an ounce of the champagne!<\/p>\n
