The next few shots are from a 50-something party I gave myself last November. OK, it was 51, 'cause the previous year I didn't feel well so promised myself, I said, "Self," I said, "next year you're gonna throw yerSelf a big bash, cuz you never have and you may never will." So I did, and it was great, and almost all my nearest and dearest were able to come. I missed some of my oldest friends who couldn't make it for one reason or another: Chris & Bill, Stephanie, Kathie, and my newer friends Melanie & Michael. Oh, what a night! (Like my partysox?)
