Paul's BIG 50!



Jane Austen in Emma declared that "Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable." Well! we pulled off enough of a surprise for Paul's 50th birthday, that he declared was not in the least foolish nor inconvenient! And it was an actually pleasurable event enhanced by the many amazing friends in attendance.
We were blessed with a day of wonderful weather, good food, and superior drink for this grand celebration. The only unfavorable part were the friends and family, who for many reasons, were not able to be with us.

Thank you to all for the may well wishes and congratulations to Paul, on this, the beginning of his next decade.

Everybody knows it's Paul's 50th! plus some shark teeth for the occasion!

Birthday stroll, 2009

On February 20, 1994 Vaden was born in Williamsburg. Prior to her actually entrance, we had to walk, and walk. Therefore in honor of that day we showed Vaden where she had "walked" just before the grand arrival. Here are a few snippets of the day in CW, which by way was as beautiful as 15 years ago.


The MUST for tourist foto!

What a difference a day makes ...

... 24 little hours (sing with me!!!)

ah yes. March in Germany. Take nothing for granted, folks, this month will throw you for a loop.

From balmy Spring-like conditions one day, to a flurry of snow the next (wait five minutes, it'll change) it's always fun!

Here are some garden pics (for comparison) from this morning (click for larger view):
