I went to my sister's house for a belated birthday dinner. Penny & Valerie whipped up a very tasty German dinner (German food & beer is sort of a tradition for my birthday).
The evening started with Amelia & Isabel playing dress-up with some Halloween stuff. Amelia makes a pretty scary witch.
Isabel is not quite as scary, but a cute witch nonetheless.
Lots of good eats: pumpernickel bread, sauerbraten, German potato salad, bratwursts, potato pancakes, sauerkraut, and other tasty treats. Penny & Val really outdid themselves!.jpg)

It was a great evening! However Val & Steve did get a bit chilly sitting out on the deck as you can see by their contrasting kilts.

We had a few good laughs over the pink, prognosticating, plastic Jesus (3PJ for short) that a friend gave me. It's a pink, plastic statuette of Jesus with a magic eight ball type answer cube built into the bottom. Some of its answers are "not a chance in hell" and "I died for this??".
We also discovered that being a mom has taken it's toll on Debi's ability to tell a dirty joke. She was trying to tell her signature joke for the first time (obviously) in a long time and she started off telling a very unfunny, cleaned-up version. The kicker is that she didn't realize she was telling a cleaned-up version until I pointed it out. I guess it's true that if you don't use it, you'll use it.
She was able to get her act together eventually, so she's still got it. It's just a bit rusty. If you haven't heard Debi tell her Little Red Riding Hood joke, you should.
