JIM MAAS BIRTHDAY PARTY

Jim Maas one of our favorite, sweetest, super great guy residents through his own Birthday Bash Dinner and Dance Party. About 80 of attended in our fancy dining room. The chef provided a nice steak dinner and Jim had Champagne flowing ! Fellow resident Paul Fishman approached me earlier in the day to help him execute a surprise for Jim. He wanted to borrow some stuff from me to give Jim a Marilyn Monroe type moment! I solicited a few other ladies to help me and we pulled together the dress, wig, sparkly sandals and my special touch, custom undies for Paul to flash Jim! Paul & I slipped out between dinner and cake and got him all dolled up. Jim had no idea! Paul later returned to dining room in his regular clothes and present Jim with the undies! Don't think I will see them be returned - just happy i got another use out of them after New Years Eve. I love putting my craft skills to use!

These were very tasty. The unsweeted green tea below - not so much! Imagine tree bark boiled with a used dull tea bag! I did offer a taste to my friends right after these photos, No takers! They can't all be winners!
