Laura was surprised to find that she had a houseful of guests for her 48th Birthday! Barb Briggs, Barb Lewis and Jeff, Michelle Beaupre, the Courtneys, the Eashs, mom and dad, and Tom and I were all there!
Leanne used her pastry chef talents to make Laura's cake: Top layer was coconut, icing between was a layer of Starbucks coffee chocolate, then the dark chocolate cake layer, then a carmel layer of icing, then macadamia nut cake. Quite tasty and moist! Really good!
Other guests included Nyla (who came up to me right away and later kissed me on the cheek!) and Mazie (Michelle's dog). I figured that Nyla heard Laura's voice in mine. She is a very sensitive dog - but very lovable!
She is big - -see last picture for size comparison... but still needs to add about 40 pounds. She has come a long way - -very special dog! Loved her!
This is grandpa with Mazie... see her?
We were getting ready to leave, and dad said that he would really like to pet Nyla. She had been abused by a man evidently, and she doesn't take to men well. So, Laura put her in her 'place' so she could feel safe, dad got down on her level, and she stayed for a little loving! She did come up to dad on her own to say her last good-byes before we left when dad was standing up - - wow!
Good party!
