Celebrated Gary's birthday Saturday in Modesto at Emily's house after we helped trim bushes, and get the yard ready to put in sprinklers.  Blake, her friend, did the roto tilling, then rolled it and we shoveled up the Bermuda and other weeds that surfaced.  We all got a workout!  Emily barbecued delicious hamburgers, Julie made macaroni & cheese, beans and a beautiful chocolate cake!  So we had a feast!  Then tonight Gary chose the IHOP for his birthday dinner and we each had omelettes, and came home to the warm cherry pie I had baked this afternoon with a dip of vanilla ice cream of course.  It was the quart of cherries we brought back this summer from Door County, those special cherries that are so very good - Montmorency or something like that.
