Traditionally
a beach birthday bash for Dawn, the weather gods decided otherwise and though
the afternoon cleared up after the rain– the much anticipated annual celebration
was moved indoors to the firehouse where the invitees lost little time getting
down to the business of (formerly beach) bingo. As the champagne flowed, the
decibel of enjoyment heightened, winners did a required victory dance before
getting their prizes
So
glad you could come……..
