Surprise!

Here are some pics from Shalene's surprise birthday party on Saturday. She actually had no clue. I was surprised that no one blew it. It was an Italian themed gala and everyone brought either an Italian dish or a bottle of wine. We had all kinds of pasta, chicken parmesan, garlic bread, tiramisu. Everyone chipped in and got her some patio furniture that she had been wanting.. It was a fun night! The weather could not have been better. The kind that people flock to Florida to enjoy. It was actually kind of chilly. We were outside most of the night and had a fire going and blankets.. People up North would probably laugh at us and our definition of cold but once you are here long enough your perception of cold CHANGES!! That's for sure... Sunday I went to a golf tournament with my brother. Another fantastic weather day! It was a lot of fun. I had never been to one before and had no idea what to expect. No cameras allowed. I found that out nor any cell phones. That's why I don't have any pics. You can't distract the golfers!! Everyone is quiet as a mouse. It was very cool to be so close to the golfers and watch them tee off and putt. A guy named Stephen Ames won. Never heard of him!! We had VIP tickets which is how I will have to see all of my golf tournaments for now on. (I'm getting spoiled with all of my event perks) Not only did we get in for free but we got to go into the hospitality tent for free drinks and food. I was exhausted after the days end. Lot's of walking!! I'm sure I'll be feeling great for my running class tonight. I'm going to suck it up and go. My ankles have had sufficient time to heal. Hopefully I won't screw them up all over again. I'll take it slow!!
