Birthday surprise and advice

This weekend we decided to drive up to St. Joseph to surprise PC's little sis for her birthday. We wanted to see her new house, but didn't want to sneak in without her having the opportunity to show it to us. So we went in her garage and waited for her to get home from work.


Note to self: must go to hairdresser. Dark roots visible from across the garage.

I insisted on standing right next to the wall to minimize my chances of getting runned over. PC had no fear. He stayed right in the middle of the garage and jumped out in front of sister's car as she pulled in.


Yay!!!

She was happy and did not run over PC, which made me happy, too.

We had a short but lovely visit. Despite my fears, Jenni and her husband really were happy to see us. I typically would not give my mere presence to someone as a birthday gift in fear that they would rather just have a scarf. We got Jenni a scarf, too, though, so it all worked out.

That's my "Honey, don't you think you've taken enough pictures?" look.

As a side note to Kathy K.'s comment on my last post, I AM looking youthful as always, thanks to the great advice that Kathy K. gave me when we were in Russia, wasting away from lack of sun. We were in Petersburg, and I was lamenting the fresh new wrinkles on my neck. "Moisturize!!!" she told me. So I did, and I have every day since then. Thanks to her advice, I have only four wrinkles, all of which developed in Russia prior to my moisture-mania. To all my little sisters, including Jenni, remember this advice. You will thank me and Kathy K. someday.
