Star's Birthday after dinner evening at our house

Another good friend of ours just crossed over to the half century mark.  Kind of like going super sonic.  LOL  Her good friend Stacey got this cool cake so while they were out eating I set up.  I had work issues so I did not go, nor did I go to a HH with an old friend earlier in the evening.  But we had fun once they all got back. 

 

  Next Star on the left and another friend of hers Kristin. 

And the girls, Stacey, Val, Star, and Kristin (left to right top to bottom). 

Stacey and myself. 

Happy Birthday auntie Star, from Lucy. 

I am going to get some cake.. 

Kristin is thinking "what kind of BS are you flinging hoss". 

I like this shot... 

Stacey and one of Val's fans that later turned into a Frisbee. 

We did it this way.  

I had a good time and I hope everyone else did to.  Philip and Jimmy showed up later. 

Train Yard Crab fest and Dragon Fly

Got my new Train Car dock box, so far it is proving to be a good investment.  I can store my train cars and misc. gear.  I still take the engines in the house. 

Just a shot of the train yard from the deck.  Notice where the read flowers are and how it turned out on the next few shots after the one below.  I just thought it was interesting. 

Started getting one of those surprise spring rains.  I just thought this was an interesting shot.

Had some grilled crab legs with Philip and of course my wife Valerie. 

Now check out this guy.  He looks to me like he is smiling.  He has been hanging around for a couple of days.  Today I had the Tiki torches out and one was putting smoke on his landing post.  He kept buzzing me, so I moved the torch and sure enough he went right back to the post.  There are a lot of shots here, I just do not know which ones I like the best, they all had their attributes so I uploaded them all.
