| Above is from my second surprise birthday party in Houston on Feb 25. | Above is from my 3rd birthday party (not a surprise) on my birthday Feb 27 |
On Wednesday the 14th of February (a couple of weeks before my real birthday) after a great day of skiing on wonderful powder we quit skiing a little before 2 PM to ostensibly go in and have lunch (Paul & Judy, Phil & Judy, and Theba and I) at the Aspen Mountain Club. And as I walk into the downstairs dining room all of a sudden I see a bunch of people, all of whom I knew very well, taking pictures and yelling "surprise". For a minute or two I tried to figure out who they were surprising when it dawned on me that Theba had done it to me again by totally surprising me with a birthday party (the big seven O). It was wonderful, roasts, toasts, great food, drinks, special T-shirts and virtually all of my good friends from Aspen or those that happened to be in Aspen at the moment were there to help me celebrate. Below are some pictures of the participants in the eating and the roasting.
Then on Tuesday the 25th of Feb. believe it or not I was surprised again in Houston. The Birenbaums had come in on a driving trip from Miami to Houston to Phoenix to Santa Fe (another surprise) and we were going to go out to dinner with them and the Fridkins. When we got to the restaurant I walked into one of their private dining rooms and lo and behold 18 friends their to greet me and yell Surpise!.
Then almost an anti-climax (almost but not quite) on my real birthday we went over to Lori's house and I celebrated with all my kids and grandkids. I'm not ecstatic about being 70 but what an awesome way to celebrate it. I'm really lucky to have a wife that loves to give parties.
I have thumbnailed all of the pictures to keep the page from taking so long to load. Just click on any picture to make it full size.
The first 2 rows are from Aspen the next row is the Houston surprise and the last row is our family.
