What a blast we had, especially to see Joanne truly surprised by a birthday celebration.
And, what a wonderful mix of people - neighbors, church friends from many groups, fiber-spinning & knitting friends, family of all generations, we all had a great time.
As the tiara proclaims - "Birthday Queen" for the day

We fed everybody, absolutely stuffed the young people, gave pizza away, and we still had some left over for a month's worth of movie-watching.
