6-21-17  surprise anniversary party---sort of!

Whenever we're back in town, we like to get up to Stef's restaurant and visit with one of Ken's brothers.  So we called to see if he was working tonight and he was so we made plans to go for dinner.  Bill took it upon himself to call the other brothers and invite them and their families to come, too.  Even though we knew they were all coming, it was a nice surprise when Bill picked up the bill and presented us with a Happy 42nd Anniversary cookie for dessert!  Don't remember ever having an anniversary party, so this was really sweet and special!  Thanks, Bill and Lena!!!  And everyone else for coming up to celebrate with us!

 first course---salads and appetizers!  Next was pizza for most of us.

my cookie---which Ken gave away after we all had some.  Just as good---I need to be eating less cookies!  and candy!  and cake!  and food, in general!!!

 4 of the 5 brothers.   Sort of see a family resemblance here!

So my phone doesn't take the greatest indoor pictures without a flash, but at least you can't see all my wrinkles from putting up with Ken for the last 42 years!

It was great seeing everyone again.  Too bad we didn't do this more often when we lived here!
