Bots 11 made it all the way to the
party, and our friend, Karla, made it all the way to 60. This past
Saturday night, Karla threw a 60
th birthday bash that once
again brought us all together, and reminded us that life in the later
years does not stop. We had quite the time last night, eating a
catered Indian food dinner that satisfied all, watching a 30 minute
video of Karla's life, then dancing the night away, and being goofy.
Bots 11 loves a party, they love to dance, and even the few of us who
are not dancers, we're dragged onto the floor to share in the love
and comraderie of this group. The few of Bots 10 who were
there, commented on the aura of our group. It feels good to be a
part of a special group.
Most of you reading this don't know
Karla, but she was placed in the perfect country, Botswana---known as
the Posh Corps. Karla bought a washer, a tv, microwave, and for all
we know, she has a house boy too. I even thought I heard she was
wearing a Mink with Brad Pitts picture on it---that's our
Karla—feisty, and always making a statement. But, ya gotta hand it
to her for doing her 2
nd childhood in the Peace Corps, and
for showing everyone how to have a good time at 60!
After the party, four of us snuggled
together in bed, but Bots 11 doesn't slow down—they were walking in
and out until 2am, talking, laughing, and arguing about who knows
what. Yet, besides the good food and catching up with those we don't
get to see often, I think everyones favorite part was jumping in a
hot shower and getting clean. Yep, you should've heard the oohs and
aahs, and the singing and moans coming out of the shower from each
and every one of us. So happy 60
th Karla, and thanks for
one great night of having hot water!

First I didn't buy a tv! I have one but I didn't buy it. And the house 'boy' HATES to be called boy! Second childhood? Hmmmm, sounds very close to 'immature, she said sticking out her tongue.' Thanks for the great pics and I'm glad you had such a good time. So did I!
