Another day of Birthday Celebrations!!!

Sunday…….another day of the weekend and another day of birthday celebrations!!!!! This time we were celebrating Ava’s 2nd birthday today. Spending the night at Dr. Jeni’s, we were up not tooooo early and soon I was having a cup of hot coffee on the deck overlooking the sloping lawn……which ends in a small stream with the woods on both sides of it. A cloudless blue sky……very warm temps….and many birds flitting around…….all made for a very enjoyable morning on the main deck.

For lunch we went into Washington, MO and ate at the Washington Smokehouse. Not tooo bad of a place……..the aroma from the smoking of the meats was much better than the actual flavor of the meats……..they were rather smokeless tasting…..sooo the many sauces they provided of various spices and combinations assisted in making the beef brisket chunks a bit more flavorful!! The baked beans were really good…..lots of flavor and just the right amount of spices and small bits of meat added to the overall taste….and they were neither mushy nor undercooked……they were just right! A major complaint in that the iced tea was not served with lemon…….and it was pretty weak for iced tea.

After that we went to the new Wally World there…..and picked up a few things for the BD Party to be held after Ava finishes her nap. Of course…..a major purchase was her new Little Tikes playset for the yard……and some sand for the sandbox we bought for her.

Returning to their Estate……Ava went to bed for awhile…..and as I was sitting on the deck, I fell asleep for….hmmmmm, not right sure how long it was, but close to an hour. GREAT place for coffee…..great place to nap!!! HAHA!

The BD Party was fun…..fun just watching Ava open ALL of her gifts and enjoy it soooo much. She is such a cautious little girl……..not daring at all….just very, very careful with everything she does or attempts to do.

After the party, we watched The Amazing Race….and then I left and drove the 100 miles to Eldon. I will be here for a few days….not certain how long….as there is much to do here at the house…….as well as I must attend a meeting at the Capitol in Jefferson City….a meeting that I initiated to attempt to get some things done with some issues I would like to see changed.

I am using my cell phone for online access…..so doubt I am able to post any pics from today’s party…..will try, but it takes sooooo damn long to get them up and out into cyberspace!!! More tomorrow…….

Life is Great…..and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
