. . . party update . . .

. . . fortunately . . . 

. . . by party time last night, 

the rain and hail cleared up . . .

. . . and i'm soooooooo grateful . . .

. . . otherwise, 

we might not have 

this little video clip . . .

. . . and it would be a shame 

not to share this gem 

with posterity . . .

. . . also ~ i discovered that 

my brother, eric, 

reads my blog . . . 

. . . who knew? . . .

. . . so ~ hi! eric . . . 

. . . and happy fifty-second 

birthday today 

to my other brother, jeff . . .

{seen at the end of the video fist bumping eric}

. . . i love my family . . .

. . . and gargantuan 

blow-up water slides . . . 

. . . thanks for the great party, 

jeff and lora! . . .
