signed the treaty on my birthday! Cool. AND then my Brian was stationed aboard
the Mighty Mo when he was a Marine. Anti-terrorist watch, guarding the atomic

Yesterday afternoon PJ and Dave had a barbecue. It was to celebrate Dave's
birthday (9-12), PJ's sister Mike's birthday (8-27), and mine. Debbie was all
set with props.... birthday girl got the tiara...
Since the "theme" was Asian food.... Pam (Mike's partner) came in
appropriate attire... with her egg... set it on the counter and it rolls! Get
it... egg roll!
PJ fixed spectacular pork marinated with yummmm ingredients and Dave
barbecued it.
We had egg rolls (lol), pot stickers, pork, coleslaw, corn, rice with peas
(YUMMMMM!!!) and Debbie's Jell-O/cream cheese/pretzel salad (AWESOME!)
Deb... would you please share the recipe???? Please!!!
L-R Dave, Debbie, Tom, me, Pam, PJ, and Tim...
Sadly Tim's partner, PatC was not feeling well, and Pam's partner Mike was
in Redmond Washington pet-sitting for a sister.
Then out came the chopsticks!
Dessert was one of Tom's famous lemon mirangue pies! Sigh... so good.
Gifts were shared. Thank you all!!!
Pam left her headband and Dave picked up the theme...
