RHINE turns 60

We have sent an emissary beyond the event horizon. What is over there? Can light escape? Can you bring your own booze?
More importantly in this particular instance, what do you bring to a surprise party with a critical mass of Claggetts?
Why a big box of bad behavior of course! That did make things really fun lickety-split like. The Liberal was the most requested beverage of the night…until we ran out of bourbon.
Romey surprised the bartender with a kilt made by an Italian designer. She is a McGraw.
So much love.
We even corrupted the young people with first martini’s. Careful AJ, it is a slippery slope to 60!
And yes there was both music.
And philosophy of mind late into the wee hours. We’re pretty sure we chose to do that. But maybe not.
It is nice to be an honorary Claggett, even if it takes a little bar tending and a big box of bad behavior.

Life goes on, especially if you are a little girl. We celebrated Iulie’s birthday in the kitchen. But first some quality time with bubbie recharging batteries.
The morning came bright and early.
After presents at home we headed over to see great grandma and share some homemade strawberry cake.
Birthday 59 in Bed

What?! 59?!!! WTF?! How did that even happen? We were up early…for some definitions of “we.”
Maybelline is now 2.
Fresh squeezed orange juice and espresso in bed. Luxury at home.
This wrapping material looks familiar.
It is hard to surprise someone with cinnamon rolls in the morning, because the delicious aroma pervades the house.

Morning light by the fire is a great way to start a birthday.
And, who doesn’t want a cow knee? Everybody wants one.

Happy Birthday Dr Matt, you screwball.
