One bottle of champagne later
The driver gave Kathy a card implying the ride is a gift from Grandpa and Grandma - so as far as she knows here, this is it.
Wasn't it wonderful?!?!
But she still didn't realize there was a party or that her brother had flown in for the first time in 9 years!
Meanwhile, inside everyone is enjoying food, conversation, and the anticipation of the surprise
Mom's Friend, Diana
Uncle Ron
Brett, Kathy's brother

Sweet Carolyn

Lots for everyone to talk about while waiting for the big surprise.
At last - SURPRISE!!
Family, Friends, Food, Cake, Gifts, Music, and Fun. Gee - Forty is good!
...and it was a VERY wonderful day.
The End
Heartfelt thanks to all the loving people who traveled so far to be here for Kathy's party, to all who were so careful to keep the secret, to all who helped with the many arrangements, and most of all - thanks to Kathy for being part of our lives!
