Birthday

I had an awesome birthday this year even though I was far from home and also, having it during the summer was so much better than the dead of winter. My birthday lasted 3 days this year!! Thursday, Feb 7th here in Australia, then Friday because it was the 7th back home (thank you everyone on Facebook for the well wishes) and then again Saturday with a big party!

Thursday, at work, one of the girls was so sweet and brought a cake to celebrate. Everyone got together at our morning tea (mid morning break) to eat the cake and sing me happy birthday. Then when I came home, there were some beautiful flowers at the door! Thank you mom, dad, Shelby, Matthew and of course Ab-E girl!!

I invited everyone from the winery to my house on Saturday for a BBQ and some drinks. The people here are so giving and love any reason to have a party and celebrate. One of the full time lab girls brought about 20 sausages to share with everyone, someone brought guacamole  others brought chips, jello shots, and of course beer and wine. Needless to say, we had a GREAT time!!
