I still can't believe we could actually keep the surprise from you, Mooh. So many things could have upset the apple cart - including the 2 who showed up at the front door for the party AFTER you'd arrived - I had to shew them away to another door (they hid in the dark cold garage until we finally rescued them!)...and then fib about who had rung the doorbell.

Oh, and wasn't it magnificent of your girlchild to come home for the weekend? What a long trip both ways! And the special fiddle. And the unfinished guitar. And the food. And the music. And the good weather, to boot. Congrats to Mrs. Mooh and her helpers for doing it up right!

And I'm very thankful that my man and I were able to witness it all firsthand.
