Today is Paul's birthday, and we were happy to celebrate it with friends.  Ed and Pat Nemec drove with us to Lakeland early this morning, where we met at Dick and Marilyn Ebbers' beautiful home.  The men went off to The Florida Flywheelers - an old tractor show, while the women relaxed at the house, went shopping, and out for lunch.  When the men returned, we went to Applebees for dinner, then back to Ebbers' for birthday cake.  Thanks again, Marilyn for your wonderful hospitality!

Three "dirty old men" , and sunburnt, and tired......

.....and their lovely wives!

This is one of the few pictures Paul saw fit to take at the show.

And this is another - honest, HE took it, not me!

I took this one at Ebbers' house - I think it's a northern mockingbird - was he ever singing up a storm!

It's been a long day, and I'm done in, so it's off to bed!
