Everyone came except Andrea, she just left to start a new life and couldn't make it. Bob didn't know anyone was coming, so the surprise appearances were planned in stages. The Moss's were first, just standing in the kitchen acting very non-chalant. Barb and Trish, in from California, were on his porch when he answered the doorbell that afternoon. Paul and Laurie sauntered into the IHOP where he was having breakfast the next morning. And Stephanie just popped in unannounced Saturday morning.

It was great to see everyone and we had a wonderful time. Happy Birthday Bob!

The party theme was mardi gras. We had catered cajun, and homemade hurricanes. Robert and Christine hosted and a good time was had by all.
