Happy Birthday & Card Making

Our good friend Mann celebrated his birthday today and I hope he had a great time.  He is at the age where he doesn't divulge how old he really is, but I do know his real age.  Or, at least what he says is his real age.

Happy Birthday old buddy and may all your wishes come true in the upcoming year.

Gerry, Cassie & Barbara worked on homemade soup today and that took a couple hours.  After that they went out to the motorhome and worked on card making.  They were out there a long time and got a lot done so that made them all very happy.  I haven't seen any of the completed products so I will withhold judgement on what they accomplished.

We finally went out for a late dinner at the Rolling Mill restaurant in Rouzerville, PA.  It's a nice friendly place with good food and service.  I managed to tease the waitress, but not enough to get her mad and do something to my food.  We didn't get out of there until after 10pm and we are worn out to say the least.

The owner of the restaurant has race horses and also a Clydesdale horse that he bought from Budweiser.  He stopped by and chatted for a while and filled us in on his latest horses.  The two thoroughbreds will be running at Penn National soon and he has high expectations for them.  The restaurant has pictures of horses all over the place, along with some saddles thrown in for good measure.

The back section of the restaurant carries on this theme even more and has a couple tables with saddles on them.  I think they are more for kids, but we convinced Barbara to get back in the saddle once again.  You can't see the saddle where she is sitting but across from her is an English saddle.  Neat idea.

 The saddle idea doesn't look like it would be that comfortable to me, but to each his own.

That was our day, how was yours?
