We picked up the pooch this morning from his daycare… He was so excited to see us! Jumping up and down, kisses all around.

Tonight we went over to PK & Susie’s for a Backyard Beer Dabbler… So much fun. Each of us were assigned a region if the country and brought a six pack of beer from breweries in that area. Most of us made our own 6 pack… So 18 different brews. Dave brought 8 different ciders as well. It was a blast!!

The final beers, in order from left to right, of top ranked.

The 3 brew buds…

The pooch hiding, burying and then sleeping on his bone.

I also had the chance to pick up 2 dozen birthday cupcakes from Angel Food Bakery. Remember Dave got me the cupcakes as a gift last year (the bakery makes one after my flavors…). Well, we had 8 flavors and 3 of each to try. Many samplings and its a hard decision. And I reserve the right to share more tomorrow!

(Overall flavors include lemon, blueberry, peanut butter, coconut, espresso.)

The final ring of fire…
