Guests flooded the home of Terry and Shirley Howlett on Aug. 14. They were there to celebrate the birthdays of the two sisters-in-law, Betty Barnes and Shirley Howlett. They both turned the BIG 60 this year. There were approximately 50 guests present.
Neither Betty Nor Shirley knew the party was for them. Surprise! It’s hard to keep a surprise, but apparently it was. Betty thought the party was for Shirley and Shirley thought the party was for Betty.
We enjoyed a wonderful barbecue of hamburgers and hotdogs and many salads. Oh, of course, we can’t forget the birthday cake and ice cream for dessert. Everyone had a good time.
