Happy 31st Birthday Lonny!"

Last night, Charlie organized a small gathering for Lonny's 31st birthday on their front deck. He had some of his favorite things, pizza, Bell's Beer (from Kalamazoo, MI), and chocolate cake!

Charlie, Lonny, Jillian, and myself.


Charlie had found a chocolate cake recipe which called for 1 cup of brandy........it WAS delicious!


Toasting Lonny are: Andy, Don, and Josh, Andy's brother in law.


Angela and "little brother", Josh......


Don has been feeling quite a bit of empathy for Angela. It was a struggle to "feel" this much empathy, though.......


Lonny about to blow out his candles........


Charlie with her tasty cake......neat candles, eh?
