my birthday

I think this is the last year that I will celebrate my birthday.  Anyway, here are some photos of the day, starting with a breakfast birthday party.

Homemade granola ...

 The cook!

 The friends!

 Berries on yogurt ...

 Egg/sausage casserole with smiley face melon.

 Special glass for me ...

 Two little boys who caught my eye ...

 Interesting stuff.

the My Tie Sauce

Meanwhile, I've been somewhat busy in Florida with web and graphics work.  One of my jobs this week was making a new label for hot sauce - Curt Fonger's "My Tie" sauce.  For those who don't know, Curt was the local TV news anchor here for a number of years.  Mike, our pool guy, is a real fan of Curt's and was delighted to get a bottle of the hot sauce.  It's quite good!

The days are noticeably becoming shorter, even if it doesn't seem to be getting any cooler.  I rescued the succulent plants that were burned from the constant summer's sun.  Having no green thumb whatsoever, I think that perhaps these plants are going to come around.

fish dinner

John and Rey's fish dinner at Berkley Manor.  The big deal is knowing how to cook a whole fish on a grille.  Looks like a success and a good bottle of wine for Rey!  Asparagus and egg rolls?

beautiful roses!

Sandy brought these roses over yesterday to cheer me through the weekend.

More on John Lennon's Station Wagon

There's a great article about Hank and David's car - "John Lennon's Car: A Wagon That Rock 'N' Rolls" HERE - with photos much better than mine.  Great story.  Check it out!

First reporting of this car on this blog, HERE.

weekend visitors

Taking Chris to the dorm for his freshman year at FAU.  At Brios.  Gosh I wish I knew what to do with my crazy hair!
