Leslie's Birthday

We had a boffo bash at the Blue Heron for Leslie last night. Really nice time and it finally cooled down enough to be comfortable. Thanks to Juleen and Brigette for all of their help. And Janet and Adria. Carmen and Antoniette both showed up in the same dress, a fashion cunundrum that was made triply unfortunate when Fernanda went next door and picked up the third one from Caravan, Leslie's store. Leslie had assured them that there were only four in Fallbrook, one in each size. What are the odds? So we had Fallbrook's version of the Supremes.

Continued the blog run of early seventies music on the player, which was mostly well received until it got too hideous.

Trupianos did a great catering job with sliced tri tip and mushrooms stuffed with pine nuts, caprese and their insanely delicious eggplant fiorentina. Monstrous and wicked purple cake from the Sweet Sicilian. Appreciate all the friends who showed up to celebrate the occasion and will forgive those that didn't show, just as I beg forgiveness for those that I forgot to invite. Actually got pretty crowded at one point, we were near capacity.

A lot of our party pals were out of town, you missed a fun one but you know that we will do it again. Thanks Ruth and Flor and Elena and David and Ron and Eva and Bri and Morg and Retha and Doug and David and Arnold and Renee and Cassie, Brett and Allie and Jerri and Frank and Carmen and Mike and Vince and Cheryl and Lev and Beth and Michael and Tom and Stacey Pecore and everybody else I haven't mentioned.

Thank you all for the wine and the flowers and for those that brought my sweet wife Leslie gifts. Thank you Fallbrook.
