We had quite a nice day, today.

I slept late (for some reason we both stayed up til about 4 this morning), got up and ready and we headed to our MC appointment. Went well....funny how we seem to work out all kinds of stuff on our own RIGHT before having a visit with her! ...Probably an unconscious response to knowing the appointment is coming up?

Went out for lunch, came home and got stuff ready for my nephews going away/birthday party (the 18 year old who gets to watch an orchard in Hawaii for the winter).

My sis and BIL really pulled out all the stops...tiki torches, new addition to the deck, mural of the beach on the shed walls (my BIL is a painter), flowers everywhere, Lais, tropical fruit, CJ burned a CD of Hawaiian tunes and everyone dressed up tropical. (Even my folks...they were TOO cute!)

Nephew J and his pal C were totally surprised. Not only was family there, but their friends too. Heck we even limboed!! During that event, CJ came up and rubbed my neck and shoulders for me (always tense)...then we danced and sang along to "Hotel California" in the tikki light.

Oh yeah, and did I mention that a good pal (a trucker who fronts a ZZ Top cover band) took me for a ride on his Harley on Saturday night???
