We had another birthday in the family over the weekend.....this time it was Andy! He turned 42 on Saturday, July 25th. He celebrated the day at Del Mar race track, betting on the ponies with his friends. It was guys birthday day. As a good wife, I let him sleep in till 10, made him breakfast (really!) then off he went. At one point he called to inform me how bad he was doing....then later in the day, a better phone call. He called to let me know he had to go pick up his winnings at the IRS window.... a nice long shot had come in! That always makes your day at the track better, especially on your birthday! So after the races, he went to eat, drink and be merry. He had a great day!During the summer, Poway has concerts in the park at Lake Poway and Old Poway Park. This past Sunday it was a band called Help!, a Beatles tribute band. We have gone to see them before, they are really good. So, we had plans to meet some friends there and have a great Sunday evening at the lake. Well, as a good wife, I bickered with Andy pretty much all day on Sunday. (A bitter wife, sore that she had the kids all weekend while her husband went off to the races? Perhaps.) So when it came time to get ready and go, Andy decided he didn't want to come. Off I went with the kids....and Andy's birthday cake. Ok, off I went with Joey, Rose and David drove with the neighbors.....always a treat for them. We got there, met up with our friends and family and had a great evening! The band was as good as anticipated and played longer than they were supposed to. I of course didn't get any pictures of the band. (The picture of Andy above was 2 weeks ago for The Stilletos concert at the lake.) David and I danced a little, and he ran into his 'girlfriend' Emily. Poway is great that way....small enough were you run into people you know when out and about.
Happy Birthday Andy!!
Let them eat cake! Before, during and after...and Andy, it was good cake!
