Birthday month....

We had 3 birthdays in March and all were celebrated in Colorado.    Mary Beth celebrated hers on the slopes in Crested Butte with Jon and Mason.    I have no pics of them but they are as good looking as always.    

Overnight rain was predicted but we awoke to a pretty foot of snow.   In order to get to the mountains , Jon had to shovel the cars out.   The winds were ferocious the night before and we found the construction porta-potty from next door had wandered down the street and tipped over.    Fortunately, a phone call and it was promptly removed.    

Then, a week later, Jon and Andy flew out.    The non-stop from Newark during ski season is a real gift.  The boys had different spring breaks from college but we were thrilled to get to see them both, but not together.    Jon had his BD on the 13th.   Yes, it was Friday the 13th when he was born!    

 

We had to interrupt a Rummikube game to blow out the cupcakes.  

And then, on the Ides of March, we celebrated Andy's 21st.    Brownies with sparkler candles and later, ice cream.  

Usually, we play board games that really challenge my brain..... but since it was my house, my game, we taught Andy how to play Backgammon.    Of course, he mastered it in no time altho it was close up to the very last .   

 

And Ruby's portrait was finished and sent off to my sister Maureen.     I have yet to meet Ruby but I suspect she and I could be friends since I know every hair on her head.    

Weather is warmer and trees are budding and iris are coming up.    Life is good.
