Murray had his 40th Birthday on Saturday and we enjoyed a family day in Ft. Collins. The lucky birthday boy got to spend his birthday money any way he wanted! tee hee! So of course we went to the Army Supply Store where he purchased a new gun holstery thing that is camoflage, got some cases for his ammo, and a new thingie for his shotgun.... Why yes, I AM using the technical terms! Sheesh...
Next off to lunch at Thai Pepper - the food was great and very authentic! Happy tummies all around! We even ran into friends there who had recommended the place to us. It's a small world!
Then we went to the music store and Murray got the mother of all guitar pedals there - he has enjoyed using it and spent a good 2 hours rocking out on his electric and trying all the different effects when we got home.
On Sunday, after church, we invited some friends over for a little birthday get together - and were overwhelmed by the massive hoard that showed up. Seriously, it was CROWDED. And HOT. And oxygen was at the bare minimum. But it was great to see all the friends that Murray has made and we are just glad our house could hold all these folks - at one time he counted 19 people just in the kitchen! An all-time record for us. It was a great time, lots of food, fun and fellowship. Afterwards we both needed a nap. Which we didn't get.
Anyway, Murray did endure some good-natured ribbing about being over the hill. And I did buy him laxatives and icy hot. And a cane with a horn and rear view mirror attached. But the best part is having friends and family to share our day and to laugh with.
Life, even at 40, is good.
