So I completely forgot to take a picture of our yummy birthday dinner shared with family and friends. Kyle requested barbecued chicken, beans, salad, salsa, and tortillas. When we lived in California, this was the menu from the mission fiestas. A lot of fond memories there! Kyle is hard to shop for, but we managed to find a few funny gifts. Stan and Lorna gave him a new wood box full of good BBQ wood, Valerie and Clint gave him .45 amo, the kiddos went with me to Lowe's and bought some random tools and supplies, David and Cindy got him a GOOD dictionary (something he has been wanting), Lily gave him the space cow, and I got him a piece of Vaseline Glass. Depression era glass that gets its pretty green color from uranium! (Because of this it will glow under a black light.) Not sure if we will actually use this piece, but it is definitely cool.
Kyle thinks this is so funny to have the space cow beside the uranium glass!
A good time was had by all and we were stuffed!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great birthday dinner and I love the green dish - how cool!!
ReplyDeleteWhere do space cows come from?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday late.
ReplyDeleteLove Uncle Juan & Aunt Dena
For all you facebookers, Lily has a shot of the glass glowing in her family album.
ReplyDeleteForgot to tell about the space cow! Lily bought it at am antique shop in town, but it is part of an art series called Cow Parade.

A little weird, if you ask me. But definitely funny and just right to join the rubber chickens in overseeing Kyle's computer!
