Thanks to Jo:)

Thanks to Jo for hosting Elle's 18th. birthday family and friend shindig! Congratulations also to my niece 'Doctor Gretchen' on the successful completion of her doctorate degree! We celebrated with 2 cakes: a wonderful strawberry and vanilla creme, and a decadent chocolate mousse. It was so nice to see everyone, especially little Tanner (who is growing fast and talking up a storm) and our friends from Valders, Manty, Milwaukee and Burlington:) We are looking forward to next weekend, as my niece is visiting from Connecticut and will have her 2 youngest children baptized. Jeannine and Big Dave will be hosting the meal later, and then Elle and I are staying overnight to enjoy a nice visit and breakfast with GMare. Will post pics soon. BTW the pool is feeling SO good these days!
