Shelly and Sabrina hosted Rose's 70th birthday last night with a wonderful party and fun roast. Rose wanted to keep it small, but it didn't turn out that way. The event was held it in the clubhouse in the Spreitler's (Chris and Shelly) subdivision with Chris as emcee, lots of wonderful food, a DJ playing oldies (mostly), and a bartender. Shelly, Chris, and Sabrina had spent lots of time decorating the place with a dream theme from Van Gogh, boas, balloons, old pictures of Rose--plus it is just a nice room. There was lots of food, a delicious cake, and I don't believe anyone went away hungry.
Chris led the evening with his tribute to Aunt Rose followed by most everyone doing the same. Margaret has known Rose the longest and gave a nice compliment and thanks to Rose. Brother Joe couldn't be there but sent his favorite store, which was Rose telling a Charlie Brown joke when we were kids. [Joe's memory is legend.] Almost everyone had a tribute to pay to Rose but some were just too shy. Goldman said that he's known her since he was five years old and is now twice her size, but is still afraid of her. Scott claimed he's heard her say the F word and had once even seen her naked. For a gift she then had to open in front of the crowd, Beth (Scott's girlfriend), got her a "Carl Jung" G-String (thong underwear). She did try it on but over her clothes.
Scott and Brayden came from Louisville. Beth came from Kansas City. John and Jana and the two girls, Caitlin and Ellie came from Kansas. Ellie is six and paid wonderful compliments to her Great Great Aunt. She is quite a confident and articulate public speaker! Some of Shirley's family from Kansas came, her niece Mary and husband Brendan and Brendan's parents.
It was a lovely evening, wonderful party, and fitting opening of a new decade for "Aunt Rose." Rose will post photos soon.
