My surprise Birthday party

[Texican]

Those of you that missed it, missed a hell of a time, first class party thrown by the wife......had Brian Burns along with Matt Foreman and 3 or 4 other local guys to entertain and Mr Brisket provided the BBQ.....
I'll post some pics.
Jeff Jones kept me busy all day long, working at the shop, around 5 Josh called and says he has his 60 wedged in wash on our farm, about to turn over and needs me to bring a truck with a winch to help him get out.....this is not unusual so I loaded up and went to get him out, hence the dirty cloths etc.......

Jeff drove in from Durango Co.......
Dave Perry drive from San Antonio to attend, and most of the guys drove from DFW area, which is 100 miles to the farm
thanks guys.....

The firepit came in handy as it got rather chilly when the sun dropped, we partied til around 4........
Deb got Brian Burns to come and entertain us, which is a real treat as he is a local well known artist.......guess what I am holding in my hand........

OK now some of the most important things in my life........My wife, Deb Lily and
that's my mom on the right.......
My girls
Andrea, Lily and Kristie
Last pic has Monica, who is like one of my own.......

Finally one of the things that makes turning 50 tolerable, in fact downright enjoyable.............
Hey Twiddy, notice the sweatshirt?

Go to bed Old Man, your too old to be up this late.

Great party and many happy returns. A big thanks to Deb, Josh, Kristie, and Andrea (and Lily).
Paul had some damn good food, a keen eye, and a great sense of humor.

Kotter,
still looking for my papers.

Also, remember to keep flexing your hand with that silly squeeze ball.

Hell of a party. I had a great time and learned some new jokes. Hopefully no one got a picture of Butch with those things tucked into his shirt. That's a mental image I'm trying to erase.

Hated like hell I had to miss it Old Man.

My body was 1200 miles away ... but my thoughts were with you. Congrats.

 

[TRT2]

You're a fortunate and blessed man...

Those photos brought a smile to my face. Looks like a great time and another typical TX get together complete with everything.

Wish I could have been there.

Wish I could have been there.

The only thing that would have made the party any better is if all my LC bros. from all over had been there.
