You only have one life. How do you want to spend it?

We were invited over to Susanne and Simon’s house for dinner (we meaning the Pereira family+2). Simon and Susy went all out for us. We had crab legs, salmon steaks, curry chicken, spicy shrimp brushcetta bread (?) - really quite good, vegetables and more! It was a wonderful dinner.
After dinner, we had birthday cake as it was Richard’s birthday. We got to embarrass him by singing Happy Birthday (he turns red so easily) and enjoyed the cake with some wonderful coffee.
The kids were running around and around their backyard and having a great time too.
It was a wonderful evening altogether.
We had another great turnout for his birthday at Helen/Rick’s house. She had the water slide and water toys out, great food, folks and fun.
Interestingly enough, Gabriel was one of three boys there, the under two under a year old. He was surrounded by girls! Guess you’re not too young to start!
He got a lot of presents which he liked a lot especially the car(s) and the soccer ball (s). Pure guy!
Today was World Cup Final (Italy vs France) and we were invited to watch the game at Luis’s house in the backyard. Which, of course, begs the question, how would we watch the game in Luis’s backyard? Well, apparently Luis “borrowed” a flat screen monitor from work and hooked it up to the cable so we could watch the game in high definition. Worked out well except for the sound but I think we all know what a goal looks like by now. :) [After 4 weeks of watching soccer, I would think so.]
So, everyone came from far and near to watch the game, swim in the pool, chat, drink, eat and yell at the referree. It was a blast.
