Birthday week

"Who needs water and sun when you can sit in the pool and watch Baby Einstein?"



What a fun week we've had this past week. Saturday, the 28th, was my birthday and Scott and the kids had a fun week planned for me. Early in the week Scott brought home 3 bottles of one of my favorite wines. He had to grab three because there is such a run on that particular wine it is rarely in stock. Scott and I still have 2 bottles left......

On Thursday before dinner Scott walked me into Tiffany & Co. and he and the boys promptly purchased my birthday gift ~ silver entwined Tiffany rings.
WOW! What a gift. Thank you Scott, Nate, Drew, and Lily! Then we had dinner at my favorite restaurant and Scott surprised me by inviting a few of our good friends to join us. To my delight we were able to secure a couple of left-over bottles of the pink champagne that we had sipped on for our Valentine dinner....Banfi Rose Regale. Delicious!

"Party? I love parties!"

On my actual birthday Scott, Drew, and Lilymei took me to Lone Star for dinner. Nate was out with the Boy Scouts bowling, or else he would have been with us. Sunday evening we had friends over for a cookout and cake and ice cream. It was a really nice time. After all the party guests left and the kids were in bed Scott and I headed out for a walk. We were about half-way through our walk when something caught our attention and just across the street from us we saw a 20 foot high flame shoot out from one of the power stations on base. Immediately the whole base was out of power. We shortened our walk and came right home to check on the kids. Everyone was fine, so Scott and I spent the next half hour out on the lawn chairs watching the stars. We even saw a shooting star that streaked across the whole sky! I can't imagine that any of my upcoming birthdays will be like this one, at least as warm as this one unless we take a vacation.


Scott and his sweetie pie!
Check back for more birthday weekend photos. I need to get back to the boys' lessons!

Oh my gosh can't believe i found your blog when I googled Boonie Bees today.. By the way thanks for the great pictures of them and places in Guam.. Brings back memories. I was stationed in Guam in 1977-1978. Three months left.. When I left I took one day and went around the island taking pictures of all the little out of the way places (even rode on a Water buffalo named Silver) I also too a city tour on one of the tourist buses. My daughter later used these in a geography report for school. Something you may want to consider is that at the international airport there is a mural of a life size whale painted by Wyland. It is one of a series of one hundred such murals. You may want to capture it in a picture because back here in Michigan they have already painted over the one that was done in Detroit. The number one thing I miss though are the plumeria blossoms. I was in Heaven when I visited Hawaii and was able to smell them again. But above all enjoy the rest of your time on the island.
