Happy 50th Willi !!!!

GUESS WHO TURNED THE BIG 5-0 !!!!

It was an eventful day in California ! Debbie threw Willi a "Party Like Your a Rockstar" SURPRISE Birthday Party. Ken and I took the birthday boy out for a 5 hour golf outing - in the rain, just so there was enough time to get everything set up, and all the people from the airport. We had several out of town visitors including: Nana, Tanya, and Willi's best friend Mike.



Willi didn't have a clue. Completely surprised. This party was in the making for over two months and not one person slipped ! It couldn't have gone smoother.

Everyone had a good time, including the little rocker: "Joshmeister"



The wife looked super smokin' decked out in her maternity rocker wear :)



Joshmeister stole Debbie's heart with his rugged good looks ! She couldn't keep her hands off of him :)



Group shot !



The crowd singing Happy Birthday.

WOW !

From today's headlines:

"An amendment to spend $16 billion to encourage buyers to purchase new, fuel efficient autos was pulled from the bill."

Phew ! We're safe ! (insert sarcasm here)

... Anyhow, we hope to update you with some new pictures sometime this weekend - I'm sure you hear enough political garbage throughout the week...

Uncle Sam wants you to buy a car !!!!

ARTICLE

So, the government is trying to stimulate car sales by offering $1,300 if you spend $25,000 on a car.

In other words, "buy buy buy"... It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that our economy is in shambles because of the "buy buy buy" mentality. Our nation has become a nation of debtors. Stimulus packages have become a joke, and printing money seems to be the current path our government is willing to take.

Twenty five thousand dollars really is a lot to spend on a car - with no money down and payments of $500+/month people are working for their cars.

My suggestion to the "Big 3" is to lower prices, get tough with the unions and move on.

After all, a car is just transportation.

Big Sur...

Last weekend Sarah (josh's girlfriend) and Uncle Blake came down for the weekend. They stayed the night - we all woke up the next day for a nice drive on Big Sur. The views are priceless.

Global Cooling/Warming?

It seems that they can't make up their mind anymore.



It's going to be a blistering 70 degrees today... again... Can't say we're complaining :)



Here's a live picture of Chicago... Nana just sent us this picture of her backyard...
