Today was the big day!! My spouse and I hosted a party for 17 of our nearest and dearest. A few other nearest and dearest couldn't make it. The reason for the party was to celebrate with four of our number who have birthdays in July, but especially with my spouse. We served pulled pork sandwiches with a variety of sauces, coleslaw, potato chips and corn chips with dips, pizza provided by one family, salad provided by another, a fruit tray, ice tea, lemonade, beer, wine and, yummiest of all, a variety of Bundtlets from "Nothing Bundt Cakes." I put two candles, the 8 and the 0 on one of the little cakes so my spouse had something to blow out.
My spouse received several fun cards and some nice gifts, including a new jigsaw puzzle. Thankfully, this one only has 520 pieces. Our youngest son and daughter-in-law had the puzzle made from one of our wedding pictures so it should be fun to do.
All in all he had a very good birthday celebration, but I got the best gift of all. I found out today that I'm going to be a GREAT GRANDMA!!! The baby isn't due until March so I must be patient, but I'm so excited.
