T'is the Season to turn another year older

...and Sunday Karl turns, well... older. Usually due to the busyness of the season his special day gets a little neglected. But this year his celebrating has started early and he's having a pretty good time.

Friday, in honor of his birthday Karl's brother Clare drove over from Boulder City to jam (one of Karl's favorite things to do).Then they went out to lunch at In & Out (another one of Karl's favorites) and then the jamming continued for a couple more hours with a couple more old bluegrassers. Ahhhh..to Karl that's a perfect day.

But to add to the festivities of the day, Karl and I found ourselves at Cafe Rio (a favorite) and then we went to the MOVIES!!!!! Now that is big-time celebrating for us considering we go to a movie about once every two years. (Of course we went to Costco first to get our movie tickets from there...thrifty, thrifty, thrifty.)

We saw Blind Side


Excellent...Really liked it...Highly recommend it.
(and of course...we highly recommend getting your tickets from Costco)

Now today he's still thinking he should be still be celebrating and he's got his eye on a major purchase at Costco (a great deal he spotted yesterday when we were at Costco buying movie tickets). Oh well, it is his birthday tomorrow and it would be nice to able to read subtitles and credits when we watch a movie at home. Something we can't do on our 20+/- year old yard-sale purchased TV.

Hey Jake, I think we will need your help setting something up.

Love, Mom Tobler
