Darling Wife is getting old - really old

She's turning 30!!!!

And since so many of you fine folks have become like family, listening to me whine and kvetch as we've taken care of Ma and Ed and each other, seems only proper to include any of you who can make it to the little surprise party I'm throwing for the love of my life.

Wednesday, July 7th, 6:30 PM until whenever at The Big Yellow House on Yellow Springs Road (aka our house) in Frederick, MD.

Start time is entirely optional - get there when you can, stay as long as you'd like (we've always got a spare bed or two, so if you really want to stretch it out you're more than welcome!).

Pot luck'in it - bring yourself something to throw on the grill or grab a pizza or whatever happens to tickle your main dish fancy. I'll get some side dishes together, will have plates/utensils/napkins and such.

If you've a particular want in the beverage department, bring that too. I'll make sure we've got tea and maybe lemonade and might even remember to have some beer and/or wine on ice.

Can promise there'll be some crazy folks (some of the good crazy kind even!), music of all kinds, a couple acres of grass to dance in, fireflies, and the possibility of some roof fiddlin'.

Shoot me a PM if you want the particulars!

AWWWWWWWW! That is so sweet!!! 'Fraid I won't be able to make it, but what a wonderful surprise she'll have for her birthday!

Hahhaa. 30 is NOT "Really" old ...but somehow 24 is ^_^

I say tell her happy birthday from me and anyone else who can't make it! But that is really sweet.

How many "Happy 29th" birthdays preceded her 30th?

Seriously, "Best Wishes" to the "Darling Wife"!

Aww I wish I could be there and I could bring mine They would get along so well together - after all they both have killer eyes and stems! But I will be up in NY. I hope she has a fantastic time - I am going to miss the roof fiddling!

My wife is 47 years old, and while I still find her very attractive, I keep on telling her that when she turns 50, I'm going to trade her in on two 25 year olds.

Who said I was 50?

I'm 5 years younger than my wife, and look even younger.
