The Party . . .

Sooo . . . Mark turned 50!

LOL he did not know me well enough to know that I could never let that one slip by. . .

It was a PARTY! Invitations went out, we put a pig in the ground, lit the bonfire, had a live band playing all Marks favorites; at least a hundred people showed up. People were dancing, the kids were running wild and roasting marshmallows . . .

Mark is good man and well loved by everyone, and they definitely came to let him know it. Gosh we had fun that night!


LOL, shy Mark being forced to give a speech . . . it was good.


Friends around the bonfire.
Mark and Betty dancing (she always looks so pretty).
Some foolish person way back when told Mark he didn't dance well, so he never danced when he went out all those years, well, it took a lot of encouraging to get him out on the floor . . . but once we did he never came off! He danced with every single person there . . . at least twice! I think he was trying to get all the dancing he had saved up for the last 20 years out of his system in one night . . . he even did "step dancing" . . . You just gotta love this man!
Little Katana, doing the honors and singing Happy Birthday . . . at least 7 times through . . . lol
My husband and the smile that I love so much.
