Kudos! The Mr. is a lucky boy to have you! I know he'll enjoy the "high" from this milestone event long after the truffle high wears off! Hope he liked the little ditty I wrote! (Don't have any idea how it just popped out of my little pea brain when you asked for tributes, I guess your inspiration works in mysterious ways!) May the next 40 years be ever better than the first!

I'm just now reading my emails and loved the recap of your Traverse City trip! The pics were beautiful and you always give such nice details that I feel like I've visited myself. I am SO happy all your hard work and preparations paid off for your husband's birthday bash. From the pics, the place looks so much like a similar one that we go to here in town. The decorations and treats looked amazing! I'm always in awe of people who have "that touch". While I have the desire, I don't have the talent or ability. I know he had a wonderful time and this will be one to remember for the ages. And congrats on losing that vacation weight! You knew you'd do it and didn't hesitate to get right back on your plan...and look how quickly it paid off! Awesome!!!dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-46133026087030652812012-10-23T18:33:06.596-04:002012-10-23T18:33:06.596-04:00I like to leave people with something to remember ...I like to leave people with something to remember and people were oohing and ahhing over the cider jars and the letters on the tubs and stuff.

So glad it turned out great, despite a few rude people who apparently couldn't read. For his 50th, consider hiring security, lol. I'm afraid I let my DH down for his 60th birthday (earlier this year). But it's his fault for deciding we'd get married on his birthday, so every time we have to decide between celebrations. Since we're in a new town with no friends and family far away, it was anniversary this time. But I'm storing away ideas for his 65th.

They laughed and went on a trail walk!!! If we had been alone at that point, it would've gone much differently but there were witnesses. ;) However the other people (who also took pics) were told it was reserved and they're like "we're just walking the grounds and taking pics." I said "no you're NOT!" and the Mr approached the guy who walked practically INTO our shelter taking pics and said "you are RUDE! You need to leave, we PAID to be here and you did not." They left. Finally, a family HOPPED A CHAIN that said "Private Area, DO NOT ENTER" and proceeded to swing their kids when this was an adult party. Nice lesson to teach your children...they were asked to leave especially since they were fully aware of what they were doing and the parents acted like they didn't know it was reserved. At least 15 people pulled all the way down the private road and either parked or turned around in the lot when it clearly states it's a reserved area. We had to end up putting a "closed" sign up in the middle of the road to keep people from coming down there and interrupting the party. People are seriously IGNORANT!Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-7104469698162951142012-10-23T10:59:16.010-04:002012-10-23T10:59:16.010-04:00Thanks mama!

Even a little coupon book is something nice to let them know you're thinking of them. :)Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-90027841934710937652012-10-23T10:53:45.118-04:002012-10-23T10:53:45.118-04:00My mom's a crafty person so I must get it from...My mom's a crafty person so I must get it from her.
