This past Saturday about 30 friends “stopped over” to help me celebrate my Half-Century mark, in life!!! I’ve always loved helping others celebrate special occasions…usually lending a hand in my favorite place: the kitchen!!! I decided to throw a party to mark this "hard to believe I made it" birthday. I had a great time.
I could not have pulled this off without the incredible help of my friends, Jeff Valdez and his partner John Patterson (pictured above), from Los Angeles.
Their talents are many and varied:
Culinary, design and just how to achieve “the good life”!!! They put all of these to great use this past weekend. My place looked awesome, the food was delicious, and most of all, my friends were there to help me soak it all in.
Some great gifts, many happy birthday wishes (thanks to all my friends on facebook), and the party went on.....until I crashed on Monday. Time to get some personal thank yous out to folks and prepare to celebrate the life of my wonderful Uncle Tom Haley, who passed away this past December. Family and friends will be gathering this Saturday in Concord, CA to celebrate a rich and varied life….
For now, here are some pictures of my Birthday Celebration – thank you for your camera work, as well, Jeff Valdez!!!!
