So part 3 of my birthday was my party at my Mother's house. She always cooks dinner for me and has special family and friends over to celebrate. I have had the same birthday cake for my whole life and I absolutely love it! Its weird because its not like a super fancy cake or anything, but I only eat it at my birthday. All in all it was a great night and I got some wonderful gifts from family and friends. One in particular I must mention. My cousin Buzzy and his wife Theresa gave over for the celebration. When I opened up my present from them, it was a single roll of toilet paper. Little did David and I know, but we have been living like poor folks for many years...we have always bought the cheap toilet paper and never thought anything about it. Well, when we would be at Buzzy's house, there toilet paper was like the greatest thing since sliced bread...so we switched. Now, keep in mind, I have always paid like $1.00 for a pack of 4, and the cost of the new Charmin with Aloe was like triple that. So, we made the switch and never looked back. However, we ran out close to Christmas time and I thought...I'll buy the cheap stuff to get us through Christmas and then go back to the premium toilet paper. Little did I know that David and I both were going to get the stomach virus very soon. It was AWFUL! Theresa called one day to check on us and I told her my sad story about the cheap toilet paper and then stomach virus, so they brought us their very last roll of the good stuff. That is what family is for....to help you when you are down!!
Here are some shots from the evening...
