Happy Birthday, Wuske Men!

Our dinner table was pretty in pink this evening for a birthday celebration for Terry and Brandon Wuske, whose big day was actually Tuesday this week. "Terry doesn't want a party," Shirley had told us, even this year's birthday was a BIG one for him. So we decided we'd at least have a nice dinner, which we did.
Evelyn made barbecued beef brisket, cole slaw, and green beans. I had found a new recipe for macaroni and cheese, which Evelyn helped me cook this afternoon. (We wanted some hearty choices, since Brandon is eating vegetarian now.)
A chocolate birthday cake from Kroger's ("Happy Birthday Wuske Men") completed the meal. We had a nice time laughing and talking together.
Evelyn and I started the day quietly, drinking coffee and reading newspapers. I went to the store (it was quiet, too, on a Friday morning!), we took our walk, and I piddled around outside a little. I even had time to doze a little in the armchair this afternoon before a few last-minute duties to finish getting ready for dinner.
We had a beautiful sunny day, with temperatures topping out above 50 degrees, and tomorrow's supposed to be the same. Evelyn's decided we're cutting grass!
