Friendly 50th

Saturday, my friends threw me a big 50th birthday celebration.  Eric and Stacy are the best hosts and made me feel so special.  I'm not sure I've been celebrated like that since I was young.  Their  yard is absolutely beautiful and it was wonderful to sit out there.  We enjoyed a delicious pot luck dinner and then sat around and visited.  I was shocked when presents came and even a custom made German Chocolate cake made by Stacy's daughter, Anna.  Anna is a trained pastry chef.  One of the best German Chocolate cake's I've had.  Stacy and Eric bought me a "50" tiara.  I brought party tiaras and mustaches. 

I'll let the photos do the rest the talking.
