Kathy Turns the BIG 4-0!!

Well friends and family, you all knew this day would come, Poohbear turned 40. She finally joined her husband and two of her siblings in their 40's. She's taking it quite well. She didn't even ask for the senior discount at Denny's.(cuz it was free on her birthday)Yes we did. It's hard to not take advantage of that free birthday meal. So, we hit it for lunch and then used Britt's gift cards she sent for Fathers day and Kathy's birthday and ate dinner at Olive Garden. We both had the eggplant Parmesan, and it was wonderful. I must say, Olive Garden does a good job at making a vegetable look and taste almost meat-like. Woohoo, what a bonus! Anyways, we are all alone still so the day was pretty quiet overall. Most of the kids and Kathy's siblings, Mom and good friend all called and that made her day even more special. Being an observer, I could tell really made her happy. THANKS!! Anyways, I attempted to make her favorite cake,(yellow with fudge frosting) it's in one of the pictures in the slide show. The cake turned out good, but I missed a step in the preparation of the frosting, but it was edible. She also got a poster with a little diddy using candy in the sentences, some balloons and of course some gag gifts. We'll do something a little bigger when we have a little more $$. Well, I hope she had a good day and know that if it is measured by her full tummy and thoughtful phone calls then she most definitely did.
