The Birthday Girl

Friday - August 9, 2013

Ladies & Gentlemen - Another beautiful sunny day in Costa Rica and the celebration of the birth of my lovely wife. Here's to you Sweetheart

With the help of several of our friends, we were able to put together a pretty nice party for her at one of our favorite restaurants - EL GUANACASTE. By the time everyone was seated, we had about 25 good friends who attended and a good time was had by all. Take a look...

As you can easily see, things started out in a nice subdued friendly way typical of people our age :-)

Good friends and neighbors having a nice conversation

Stef walking around and greeting everyone















Then I gave a little dedication to the love I have for my wife, which may have embarrassed her a little bit, but this girl is the love of my life and I couldn't help it.

Now, this is our very dear friend Mercedes whom I consider to be like a daughter to me. She was instrumental in helping put the party together and baked what people often refer to - as the best cake they ever put into their mouth -  Do you see that grin on her face? Kind of looks like she has something on her mind  - Well, guess what? I am a pretty good judge and was completely correct - SHE DID - But first, let me show you the cake she made.

Now, Does that not look delicious?

Well, Mercedes started to get things rock'n a bit, but she started off slow & easy with Stef and our good friend Bek. Are those Tequila shots they are having? Oh Boy

Then Mercedes gets a few of the girls up to the bar for more. Then, there were more girls, and they were obviously having a good time.

As you can see here, the men are having a nice quiet conversation

But, they got going too and... - It was decided to give Stef another 

Happy Birthday Toast 

 Hope you all had a wonderful night - I know that Stef did

This is Dina Duffy with Marco who is the owner of El Guanacaste - He kinda looks worn out and relieved that we are leaving for the night. Now, you can see what he puts up with when Stef has a Birthday :-) 

Thank you Marco and also to all your great staff.

 I guess that you can see that all of us Seniors know how to celebrate a Birthday here in Costa Rica

Until the next one...
