Birthdaypalooza

A glorious night last night at my beloved Sue's Birthdaypalooza. Happy Birthday again to Sue and Thomas. Ernie and Owen made her a Sue Records 45 cake.

It was a wonderful night. Heaps of people I love and amazing food...Donna's 80's dance music and Aron Stromberg's songs. The tacos were outrageously good (thank you Sue, Ken and Jill!). No pictures of those because I was too busy enjoying them. Ended it with Ceal's rice crispy treats...and the fact that they were hand wrapped in wax paper made them SO much better. With a bit of white wine and two of my boys by my side? Pretty damn perfect.

It was fun having Owen with us. We picked Teri up and she said in surprise, "Oh, Owen, are you going to the party?" He was properly taken aback and said, "Well, of COURSE.....Sue's a good friend." And she is indeed. She is indeed.

Today we should be cleaning the house. We'll see. This week is going to be busy, as is next weekend, and I'm feeling enough of a happy glow from last night that I just want to revel in it.

OH.....and I forgot to add....my favorite moment of the evening was when Owen walked back to the table from getting a taco and said, "Nick Rudd just said hi to me. I mean, he's legendary in our family."

Yup.
