Jennifer's 40th birthday celebration (a little early)

A while back Rose came up with the idea to have a potluck picnic for the field.  Though Jennifer's 40th birthday isn't until September 1, this would be our last chance to celebrate it together.  Since Jennifer was in Michigan until the day before the picnic, it wasn't too hard to keep the birthday part a secret.  Due to a very high heat index, we moved to an indoor location - two homes kindly provided.  It was a lovely day.  Here are a few pictures.

The food (some of it anyway)

I was so glad Mom and Dad could come.

Then Karmen appeared as well!  Yeah for nice surprises!

Blow, Jennifer, blow!
