The world did NOT come to an end....

when I turned 40. Shew! I woke up and the sun was still in the sky, birds were chirping, the cats were taking turns walking across my full bladder as I lay there checking all body parts were still functional. Fingers - check. Toes - check. Can I move my neck? Yup.

Alrighty then...


Sorry for the lack of posting... work has been insane. I get home and the last think I wanna do is look at a computer screen.

We had a great party for my first 40th and Furry Husband's last 40th later this month.

We put the keg next to the goat pen because goats really needed to be part of the experience. Need a beer? Scratch a goat.


Funny how at a 40ish party, there are lots of children... baby strollers... wee folk....





Even the band brought a baby... my Mom adopted it. I'm not sure the band left with the baby, I think my Mom took it. Baby snatcher.
(see the stroller to the left there? And oh, look, there is a play pen over to the right. It was part of the band set-up...)


At the last minute we confirmed on the band. I'm so glad we did. They played bluegrass-ish or maybe Grateful Dead-ish sort of music. There was a banjo. And really? That's all that mattered. Banjo. All hail the banjo.

Now that looked like fun!! Love the smile on the guitar players face...he was having a GOOD TIME!
I need a couple of those cool tree chair swings too..but I don't have any REAL sturdy trees?? I think I could sleep in one of those though!!
So glad your 40th was a good time and you all survived! Happy Birthday!! Here's to 40+ more!!
