Carole's Birthday

There's more to 9/11 than remembering the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. That's also Carole's birthday.

Carole wanted to be pampered a little on her birthday, so DeeAnn and Janey took her to the beauty parlor in Spring Hill, Kansas, to get her hair done and also get a manicure and a pedicure. Carole came back "all smiles". While they were gone, I put a couple of chickens on the rotisserie, then mowed the front yard between basting the chicken with Caribbean Jerk.

When the chicken was nearly done, we put on corn-on-the-cob and prepared a salad. We all then enjoyed a nice Birthday Dinner. After dinner, as I was getting ready to light the candles on Carole's birthday cake, several neighbors rode up on their golf cart carrying bouquets of flowers for Carole.


Charlie Choate and Ed and Bev Dingus joined us in singing Happy Birthday to Carole before she blew out the candles. We all then had a piece of birthday cake.












Carole then opened her birthday cards and her present, diamond earrings to match her bracelet.

Following that, we all adjourned to the back deck where we talked and laughed ("The Girls" giggled) for a couple of hours. Carole had a very nice birthday.

Happy Birthday, Carole . . . and may you have many more!
