Birthday honorees<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Charles and Laura celebrated his birthday last night, going out to dinner at the Himalayan Cafe<\/a> in Old Pasadena. Carla and I watched Ella and William. They all stayed the night here, and we watched the kids again while Charles and Ella took in a morning temple session. Ella and I played Carcassone<\/a>, and she’s picked it up well.<\/p>\n

But for today, Joseph, Lyle, and Judy with her children joined us after we ordered three slabs of ribs and a cut-up chicken that James and I picked up from\u00a0Bonnie B’s Smokin’ BBQ Heaven<\/a>. We celebrated Emily’s upcoming birthday with Charles’s. For dinner side dishes, Laura prepared a melon, berry, and peach cocktail; a leafy, berry, and feta salad; and the potato-and-cheese casserole we all like. Judy brought a chocolate cake, and Laura brought a 4-layer spongy lemon cake which she frosted with strawberry frosting and then rolled in colorful sprinkles.<\/p>\n

Joseph brought over\u00a0Teen Titans<\/a>, a new version of the DC card-building game that the men enjoyed while the woman worked in the kitchen. After dinner, Judy beat a few of us at one of my least favorite games Wackee Six<\/a>–my reflexes are too dimmed for it.<\/p>\n

Lyle reported a victory in a jury trial this past week over what he described as the best lawyer in the Antelope Valley. Obviously, he’s now second best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
