Birthdays!

Not only have I stayed busy with gardening, there have also been a couple of birthdays celebrated since I last wrote.

Scott's dad, Steve, turned 60 this year and to celebrate his birthday we tried to suprise him with a party Morton's Pub and Grub. Scott's sister and brother-in-law (Stacy & Ty) own the restaurant and wanted to host the party there. While the attempt was sincere, Steve is really hard to suprise and he knew something was up. A good time was had by all and it was nice to be able to spend time with family.

Not only did Scott's dad celebrate a birthday, my niece, Josie, turned 3 this year and she had a Princess party (complete with crown cake, princess shoes, and tons of cloths & toys). This party in particular was super memorable as some of the party participants witnessed an amazing crash as a car flew off US 31 and into someone's home. Now, in a small town (Edinburgh, IN--I know, you've never heard of it) you would think this would make news in one of the local papers, but alas, it didn't! My theory is that if someone had been injured, it would have...so sad to think that the only time news gets made is when someone is injured! It was quite the site though to see this grand prix hanging half in and half out of a house. When it first happened, we thought that the car had gone into the living room area of the home, but once we drove by, we realized that thankfully the car had gone into the garage area of the home. Anyway, here is a picture of Scott, Josie, and I from her princess party!
