b'days ~

Today is Dear Hubby's birthday! the big FIVE THREE!!!  I always get a kick out of his birthday; because he always gives me this 'respect your elders' speech ~ he's got 32 days on me.  I always tell him to slack off on his elder speech ~ because he was still shittin' yellow when I came along.  I'm bad ... I know ...

Here's a pic of the birthday boy, Slim,  last year at the fisheree.  He just bid $65.00 on a blueberry pie and won it ~ not knowing who baked it.  He was surprised when he opened the box and saw that it was one that I baked. lol

It's also our dear friend's birthday ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY PORKY!!!

Here's a pic of Porky with a chewed beaver log that he picked up while out trapping with Slim ~

Porky and Slim ...
Quite the nicknames. AND quite the characters!  Especially when they're together!!

Porky (Jordan) and his wife Rozanne are the owners of Donner's Bay Resort on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage (the place Slim's grandparents built).

Tomorrow night ~ we're getting together with them to go to The Pines restaurant in Mercer for some authentic German food and to celebrate the guys birthdays.  Yum... Slim and I usually have the pork or veal weiner schnitzel with red cabbage.  They have such good food ... and delicious roast duck, smoked pork hocks and beef roladen.  I can just never make up my mind what to eat there.  It's all good!

Tonight the kids are coming over for supper and to celebrate their Dad's birthday with him.  I'm making a pork and sauerkraut and potato casserole ... and possibly a german chocolate cake. We're getting our fill of German food this week.

Happy Birthday guys!! Love ya!!

Until next time...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.
