Our best behavior.....

Last night several of us went to Matteo's restaurant in Noblesville, IN for dinner. It was to celebrate my birthday. We went a week late because I enjoy First Friday in Noblesville, and last night was going to be jazz music. However, it was 104 degrees outside, the air conditioning in Matteo's wasn't working properly, and we were all just way too hot. So we went from dinner, to my Sister and her husband's house for dessert. Since there was so many of us, we had three separate tables at the restaurant. Our table decided that we were going to be on our best behavior, because Mystery Man showed up!

Mystery Man is my cousin's boyfriend. They've been dating over a year and we've never met him. Until last night.

All went well.....

for about 5 minutes.

Even their spoiled dog was being good.

But this kid gave the "being good" thing some thought,

and with a little encouragement, decided the consequences would be worth the action.

So she turned on some app on the ipad, went over to my Shug and sat on his leg. The ipad made some huge farting noise, and Mystery Man was sitting to My Shug's left. Oh dear....some of us simply forgot about being good. We really did.

My Sister tried reminding us....

but then this guy showed up,

and everything just went to hell!

I say if you are going to date someone, you might as well see what the family is like from the beginning.

My Sister tried to regain some decorum by lighting the candles on my cake. The cake she made.

But then, the guy beside her accused her of not really making the cake. Oh dear again.

Or should I say, "Laawwwwdeeeee lawwdeeee lawwwdeeee."

She did in fact, make the cake, she adamantly explained.

But not these.....these....she ordered.

It was all yummy. I sure wish I had some of that chocolate today. I told her to freeze it for the next party, and save that port wine too. I hope she did.

For my birthday I got this sunflower wine glass, which I am anxious to try out!

Along with some dipping oil from Matteo's and this cute little wallet.

Inside the wallet was YARN MONEY!

For those of you who asked....THIS is a ripple.
