Hi there from Karen (StillHere), My birthday started last night. My husband grilled steaks and King Crab legs for supper w/ Champagne. Had a very romantic evening (all about me. Heeeheee). Jeff went golfing today, so I think he was extra thoughtful last night if you get my drift. The kids came over at noon and we went to Pike Lake (Rolling hills area of Kettle Moraine, WI - about 45 mins from Milwaukee). It was beautiful, but very warm. I never went hiking on my birthday before when it was 91 degrees. It was surreal to see families swimming in the lake in October. We came home and my daughter made Fajitas for dinner. She also baked an apple pie with Granny Smith, Cortland, and Haralton (sp) apples. We stopped on the way home from the lake to pick up a 1/2 gal of vanilla custard for pie alamode. Could not have asked for a better birthday.

PS: Happy Birthday to my Birthday Buddy Karen Raines Hunt. If your day was 1/2 as good as mine, you had a darn swell time also. Take Care and I raise my champagne glass to you. (Yes, I had champagne yesterday and today - I told you it was a birthday weekend celebration) Love Karen
