KT's 2008 Birthday Party : Les planned a surprise party for Katie at PF Chang's in Mountain View for her birthday.  After dinner we all headed over to Rooster T Feathers Comedy Club.  The entertainment for the evening was fantastic!  Best night at Rooster T Feathers yet!  It appeared that all had a great time.  Went back to Les and Katie's for a night cap.

Raquel's Surprise 15th Birthday : Raquel's Mom decided it was time to give Raquel a surprise birthday party at the ranch.  With large efforts on everyone's part the guests all arrived before the birthday girl. The food turned out fabulous.  And I believe Raquel was genuinely surprised.  Here are a few of the pictures that captured the moment.  Enjoy!

Birthday Blessings : Even though Friday, November 9th, was my birthday, my birthday started last weekend when Keith and Raquel baked me a birthday cake.  I was surprised that Keith remembered and took the time out of his weekend. And, of course, the work and projects that Keith completed certainly helped to make life on the ranch a bit more enjoyable.  

 On Wednesday I went up to Sparks to take the Cub Cadet up to Lowe's and meet my brother for a short visit.  Charlie gave me a gift of two cookbooks for my birthday; Martha Stewart Handbook of Baking and the new Weight Watcher's Cookbook.  I have wanted them for quite a while and such a nice treat from my brother and his wife Carol.  When I got back from Sparks Cliff and Jen sent a beautiful bouquet of roses. They are so fragrant.  I was very surprised. 

On Friday, I met Leslie Goodwin and Sadie at Sly Park.  Leslie showed me a new trail route that took us up to Fleming Meadows.  It was gorgeous, as you can tell by the pictures.  Valentina and Sadie rode well together with lots of energy left over after our three hour jaunt.   Cliff called when I got back home and we had a meaningful conversation.  

Sunday, Katie came up.  And brought a very pretty floral arrangement.  She cooked a wonderful Birthday Dinner, Chicken Paprikauns, mashed potatoes, and salad.  Then there was DESSERT!  Chocolate brownie with ice cream and fresh raspberries!  Very yummy!  Thank you, Katie, you are the best COOK!  
Monday, Katie had the day off and we took Valentina and Chilkit Pass up to Cronin Ranch for a 10 mile ride.  Got to see many new parts of Cronin Ranch that  I have not had the time to see.  We actually got the horses down into the river!  That was pretty great.  The river area is a very cool area.  I look forward to doing more rides soon.  It was a beautiful day, with great scenery.  It was so great to have the time with Katie and to take a horseback ride with her.  

 I received many cards from friends and family.  Thank you, Cliff, Jen, Katie, Les, Linda Carter, Raquel, Keith, Annika, Rosanne and Leslie for making this a birthday to remember.  All and all it was a relaxing and happy birthday.  One that I will cherish for a very long time.Thank you, Friends, Family, and Nature!

Katie at Pacific Grove Triathlon : I had the pleasure of accompanying Katie to the Pacific Grove Triathlon.  It was a wonderful weekend.  The course was set in such a cute little town with very nice people.  Being right on the ocean made this triathlon particularly nice.  I was awe inspired in the manner that all of the athletes participated.  Thank you, Katie, for once again inspiring me to be more commited in my own physical fitness program.

Visit to Cliff Jen and Family : Cliff, Jen, Josh and I were able to spend some time to visit a few of the covered bridges of Parke County, IN.  We had a great time.  Josh, the little sweetheart that he is, made the trip even more enjoyable.  Cliff and Jen were full of so much information about the area, the bridges, and the locals it made the trip a true delight.  Thank you, Cliff and Jen for such an excellent tour guide trip.
