A WHOLE LOT OF HUGGING GOING ON.

Daughter-in-law Laurie, greeting guests coming to my 75th birthday party. At some point, I think maybe birthdays should be forgotten, but 75 is a milestone of sorts.

My son Ken meets and greets our  old friends and relatives.

And then for awhile there was a whole lot of huggin’ goin’ on..

The littlest cousin and the biggest cousin.

Since this was an Oktoberfest birthday combo, Laurie got me into a hat.We all adore Abbie and especially like to try on her hair. She let me borrow it for a few seconds so I could feel young again.

The wine flowed-

A taste of what’s to come, passed around. Yum.

Ninety year old Bill Foster told everyone that he asked the man upstairs to take a couple strokes off his golf game, but he misunderstood and gave him a stroke instead. A lesson in never losing your sense of humor. His wife June is 88 but looks 65.

My favorite and long time quilting buddy, Kendra.

I think brother Stew is trying to convince brother Mason to grow a mustache.

Long time friend, Paul Moller from Calaveras Community TV.

Jim borrowed Abbie’s air for a mustache-

-but, then she put him through all of the props.

Anthony,Norma & Abbie. Abbie is an organizer like her mom who took all the pictures of my party.

Then they put me on the hot seat. I said no gifts.

Mostly jokes, lovely cards and fun.

Tom and Eleanor. All too soon it was time to call it a day. And, the end of a year.
