I YI YI YI - Happy Birthday Lem

Mel had a birthday and we went to find a GOOD authentic Mexican food place.  Our waiter had asked for Mel's name so when we were through eating our not too impressive meal, Mel was presented with festive fried ice cream and got to wear a sombero while they sang Happy Birthday to him.  They sang in English so that we could understand, but they sang to "Lem." Little mix up in translation.  Still looking for a restaurant with great salsa and some flavor.

My mom and dad let me go to Salt Lake with them one of the days that they visited earlier this month. Look, I'm almost as tall as my dad now.  It was very important to Dad to get in front of a beautiful flower bed.  Please don't notice the garbage dumpster and liquid fertilizer cart in the background.  My folks and I have the same talent for not being able to take pictures. The end on that subject. 

I think they are so cute anyway, and the nicest folks around.

 Mel and Chris have an annual vacation or staycation at about this time every year.  It usually involves planning an amazing motorcycle vacation that has turned into a build a porch project instead a couple of times.  Well, this morning they took off for the BMW rally in Colorado.  Maybe Beth and I will have to build the porch this year.  "Have fun boys and don't do anything I wouldn't do!" ~quote Jane
