We started out by visiting Jim & Shirley first before heading over to Milt’s place for his 80th Birthday celebration! (And even later in the day we have a Halloween Party to attend in Clearlake Oaks).
We enjoyed a lovely couple of hours being entertained by Jim & Shirley… Jim has just finished up their beautiful deck! More twists and turns that I would care to share.. It is wonderful! Jim is such an artist and a perfectionist! So everything is perfect.. 
Love it!
We shared a drink or two and discussed the events that would unfold that day. Jim & Shirley are such fun people!
We arrived at Milt’s about 2ish.. a bit early thinking we were going to get a “close” parking place? However quite the contrary.. We thought we were early, however many other beat us to it!!
All was not lost.. Ev dropped me at the door and he found a place not to far away.. the day was filled with moderate showers of rain all day (much needed rain).. As we arrived indoors, the house was filled with warm and welcoming faces.. It wasn’t long and Milt was greeting us with hugs. His new girlfriend Priscilla (friend to all of us) on his arm looking so enchanted.. Adorable. Both seemed to be so fascinated with each movement of the other, a new “life”, “beginning”, for both of them..
By now there were many familiar faces as well as not so familiar. Everyone was enjoying a glass of wine or a cocktail. We had wonderful entertainment. Music by a single musician in the living area, with a voice similar to “Neil Diamond”, playing music that was soothing and comforting as people mingled around the room.
A magician at the other end of the room entraining us as if were all school aged children.. We were all so amused with the magical talents of Tom the magician! We could have all be 6 or 7 instead of 60, 70 or 80! He was delightful!
Milt had arranged for hor’duerves to be served to his guests by servers walking amongst his guests serving delicious tid bits.. uumm yummy yummy!
Soon Milt’s birthday cake was alive with candles glistening and all were singing the cheers of celebration for his 80th! With a “swig” of wine and a big breath he blew the candles to make his wish as we do from the time we are able to do it! Only he knows the wish and it is for safe keeping.. <}
It was a wonderful party! Great people, fun times!
