Getting older is not for sissies. I'm not a sissy, thank goodness. I'm a physical therapist, mom, daughter, sister, friend, and I am looking forward to "what's next?"

The Party's Over

A good time was had by all at the party last night.  The food was fabulous, the company was fabulous, we all looked fabulous, and somehow the Paparrazzi got wind of the party and cameras were literally everywhere.  There was even one photographer taking pictures of all the women's cleavages.  Oh, wait that was our friend Suzi.  And then of course someone had to take a picture of hers.  Oh, wait, that was me.

George Clooney got his message in time and didn't show up.  Thank goodness!  But he did pop out of the card I made for Susan.  With the help of some Viagra Tape.  Ok, it's just Scotch Tape, I made that part up. 

After the restaurant part of the party was over and most people went on home at a reasonable time, a few hardy souls went over to the Ryder homestead where we had hoped to party on the deck.  (I refrained from calling it Bob's Big Deck...see, I have some measure of restraint sometimes.)  The weather cooled off enough for us to do so, but the cool temps were accompanied by a beautiful rainstorm which kept us inside. 

Now it's Saturday morning, earlier than I'd hoped to be awake and I'm working on that list from yesterday's blog.  Tomorrow we will hit the highway, then the beach, then the sack.  (Funny that verb "hit," isn't it?)
And somewhere in that busy schedule, I hope to blog at y'all again.

Thanks for being part of my wonderful party! :-D What great fun it was, and being surrounded by so many cool peeps made it easier to transition into geezerhood. Hope you have a wonderful vacation, and don't forget to send that card to George (with my cell phone number).
