Dianne's Birthday Celebration!

By Keith

Yesterday was Dianne's birthday!

The Carlson Clan had great plans underway for a surprise recognition of this event in conjunction with Sunday evenining's ice cream social. Plans halted abruptly when an ambulance showed up at Dick's door and took him to the hospital Thursday for a day of test and rest. (Rest in a hospital? Who are you trying to kid.)

Ever the great neighbors, Marv and Bev jumped in, assured Rick that "everything will be taken care of," and charged on. To no one's surprise (well, maybe Dianne's) everything was taken care of and a great celebration was underway.

In fact, it was the best-attended ice cream social in memory! Everyone had a great time wishing Dianne a Happy Birthday and visiting with their friends and neighbors.

Not to mention the great ice cream and cake!

Here's a little slide show of the event: (I suggest not clicking the big arrow in the middle of the picture. Instead, to play the slide show, click the black area at the bottom of the photo, then click the small triangle in the center to start the slide show. To see the slide show at your pace, each time you want to see the next picture click the right arrow at the bottom instead of the triangle.)

Comment!

 PS: Dick came home the next day and now is resting up from his hospital stay. His stomach and chest pains have abated.
