Happy Birthday Janet --- We celebrated cousin Janet's birthday yesterday at her home with Kelly and Beth preparing a middle eastern dinner on the grill. The company was wonderful, food great and celebrating on into the evening. Janet's backyard garden of flowers and decorative plants really is a beautiful sight and her yard is a nice place of rest and relaxation.

The dinner was followed by a special cake from Barbara that made reference to the landmark date that the birthday was and was a delightful way to end the evening.
