Bob (m/v September Song) has been planning a surprise 60th birthday party for Stephanie for a few weeks now, making preparations long distance while they were in Sarasota for a DeFever rendezvous (at which their two dogs Cassie and Godiva made a presentation). She wasn't totally surprised, since some friends called with regrets the day of the party, but she was somewhat taken aback by the crowd and of course the wonderful decorations, which were the finest Daffy Doug's and Dollar Tree had to offer.
Bob hired a great band (Tim Dee and Jim Hill) and Dockside made some delicious appetizers. Bob even had drink tickets for all the guests! There were the regular dock possums, some DeFever friends who will be traveling with all of us to the Bahamas, and lots of old and new friends. The cake was big enough to share with the whole restaurant, and some kids at a nearby table enjoyed Stephanie's scented bubbles.
There was laughing, dancing, some real and gag gifts, and a great evening of fun. One guy in the bar apparently was worn out just from watching the party!
Thanks to Bob for the great food and music, and thanks to Stephanie for finally joining all the rest of us in our 60s.
And so many thanks to you and all the "wisdom" gang for such a fun celebration!
