At Julie's Birthday Party, part 1

I think this should be a three part set. Julie turned 30 this week, so we celebrated Saturday night with 3 types of chili, in 30 degree weather, under 3 inches of snow. Okay, maybe there were 4 inches of snow, but that doesn't really fit my pattern, does it?

Here's Julie getting Piwi the Kiwi, who traveled all the way from New Zealand to be here. Cath looks pleased with her ability to almost keep him secret for 7 months.


Everyone else in the room actually could remember '77.


She can now communicate her need for cheese in new ways.
