The sombrero diaries-Birthday!

So somewhere in the mix of things Ross's (name changed to protect the innocent) birthday came around! We were all dressed to the nines and the ladies were very lovely in their dresses and heels! We had a lovely dinner, as normal and the we noticed that some of the ladies had mysteriously disappeared. Now I knew a little bit of what was going but not Ross. Poor Ross had been celebrating his birthday with smuggled rum most of the day, as my fading memory recalls. Hence the slightly concerned look from time to time. Mind you if I was in his position I would probably be on Red Alert with a butter knife secreted up my sleeve awaiting ninja ambush and a sniper attack! Some people just think differently I guess. However after a while the restaurant is nearly empty and the ladies return, Ross's wife is dressed in a short white dress ala Marylyn Monroe and her blond hair fluffed to perfection! A beautiful cake is put before the guest of honor as his wife begins a whiskey voiced rendition of Happy Birthday that would knock your socks off! All in all a fantastic birthday! Happy Birthday and thank you for inviting us!
