Last weekend we were invited to a birthday party for our friends, both guys had birthdays in October. The Butterfields hosted this party, mainly for them to see their friends one last time before they head off to Arizona for the winter. They won't be back until April.
There were 15 of us at the party and we spent the night at their house. Dale & Kitty always have us stay because of all the adult beverages we drink. Kitty made pulled BBQ pork sandwiches and the rest of us brought side dishes. I make a pasta salad (shells, tomatoes, black olives, green, orange and yellow peppers with ranch dressing) It was very colorful and delicious. Got alot of compliments on it.
Our friend Joan made the birthday cake which was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Her father owned a bakery in Lead South Dakota so when she bakes it is alot. She bakes her cakes in a casserole pan. The cakes are very thick and so is the frosting. Very delicious.
We all had a good time visiting. While the others went home, 5 of us stayed at the Butterfields visiting and drinking. They had an extra guest as she was in no condition to drive home. We stayed up until 2:45 am and then got up at 7:30 am. Been a very long time since we have done this.
We got home around 10:30 on Sunday morning. In our younger days we would have been going on strong all day long, but Gary and I ended up taking naps during the day. Good thing we don't stay up like this all the time.
Had a great time and our friends Dale & Kitty left Tuesday for Arizona, they did make it safe and sound. They are living in a small town just out of Phoenix. We have been invited to visit sometime in the winter.

We might have to do that sometime. You can go see the Butterfields and I can visit my classmate, June. Nancy Shepard also lives in Phoenix. She's a cousin.
Allegiant flys to Phoenix, will have to check that out. We can share a suitcase to save on the baggage fees.
