50 is the new 30

After all the hoop-la from Kristin's graduation, you'd think we were done with the party thing. But we had a very significant celebration because our friends Don and Debbie turn 50 this summer. I don't really think they would want me advertising this to the whole world but what are friends for? Chara, CJ, Jared, and Brent enlisted our help to surprise their parents. Yes, I called Debbie to invite them to dinner and a bonfire and LIED! What is really sad is that I thoroughly enjoyed lying about this secret that wasn't even meant to be a secret. (I'm really questioning my salvation today....just kidding) Anyway, they were surprised and we had a great night. Don and Debbie's families came from Troy, Concord, and other regions of SW NH.



We did not have a bonfire, but the neighbor entertained us with hers.... especially when she yelled out, GET THE HOSE NOWWWWW! I think the fire was 20 feet high over there. And the Derry fire department had just gone down the road to some type of explosion. We grilled hotdogs and hamburgers, had fruits, salads, and vegetables. We also had cake and yummy cheesecake. The cake made everyone have blue lips and tongue but it was all good.

Don and Debbie are very special friends who like our family to us. I was happy to be able to celebrate this milestone with them.

God has given good health and good friends. No one knows the path ahead but we don't walk it alone. I hope for many more birthday celebrations to come. Happy Birthday friends!
