Extreme Bocce Ball

We retreated to Janet & Patti's country home yesterday for my o'fish'al birthday celebration. Tradition among our group includes the passing on of various leis, hats and the birthday scepter (not shown here).

We engaged in our version of Bocce Ball which doesn't follow the rule book to the letter, but is a heck of a good time.

And then came the Dr. Seuss inspired birthday cake which was absolutely perfect. All future birthdays are going to pale in comparison.
