Happy Birthday Mom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

These flowers are for you!

We hope you, BB and Leonie are having a blast in France! Please keep us in your thoughts during your adventure, we will have to go back over with you next time. Since we are unable to be there with you to celebrate in person, this is a little virtual trip down Memory Shop Road. So sit back, have a Pina Coloda or Bloody Mary with your girls and enjoy this little online gift to you. You can click on the photos to enlarge them! Enjoy!


Happy Birthday from YOUR BOYS! Kisses and Hugs and Foot Massages to You!


Happy Birthday from YOUR GIRLS!


Happy Birthday from Doug Flutie! Whether he plays for the Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, or now the New England Patriots ... he is your man!


REMEMEBER ... Our trip to Florida and Disney? See Cinderella's Castle at The Magic Kingdom above. We walked through 3 theme parks in 2 days! We never once waited in line. Sorry again Mom, I forgot that the Dinosaur ride in Animal Kingdom was so fast. Isn't Ellen's World of Energy the most fun ride? Of course, we loved the Mexico ride at Epcot - how many times did we do that ride? 3 or 4 times?


REMEMBER ... the NCAS Banquet at Disney's Wide World of Sports?


Always the dramatic actress! Such a flirt ...


Going back my German roots! Love your kitty-print visor.


Of course, Dad's everlasting presence followed us everywhere. Remember the Heron at the Coronado Springs Hotel in Florida?


REMEMBER ... The Sport in Society Banquet at The New England Patriots' Gillette Stadium?


REMEMBER ... Watching Football games galore at Champions? A big taco salad and chicken fingers and all you can drink Coke! Ahhh .. it doesn't get any better than that.


REMEMBER ... Going to the Museum of Natural History during Thanksgiving 2003? Special guest appearance by Pat and I as the Men in Black (turtlenecks)!


REMEMBER ... Taking over Glimmerglass Opera like we own the place? Who cares if we park in Paul Kellogg's private parking spot.


Elegance personified ... Birgit, Mona, Hiroko & Gwendolyn.


REMEMBER ... Making Christmas Cookies with Pearl and Julia over Christmas? So much fun ...


... and they looked almost too good to eat. I can close my eyes and imagine their taste right now. We have to do that again this year!


REMEMBER ... the unforgettable trip with Hiroko and family to Hawaii? ... the hotel view and Pina Colada's at pool side ... the jacuzzi at night ... the romantic dinner at Don Ho's as (not to be confused with Don Ho's ass) the sun set ... and of course, the famous Luau at Paradise Cove.

REMEMBER ... Buiding campfires and melting S'mores at Creekside with Steve and Ben?


REMEMBER ... Mini-Golf with Tina and Steve and Ben? You had a HOLE-IN-ONE on your first shot and never looked back en route to dominating victory! You kicked our butts!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you too BB!

REMEMBER ... your lovely garden & cozy house? Coupan as a fuzzy puppy? Wonderful Birthday wishes to you too! XOXO
