After stuffing ourselves into oblivion at the Cove Room we all (with the exception of Rick and Vicki because she had to work) headed back to mom and dad's in Hagersville for gifts, games and cake.
All of the Friday Night Marble Gang were there and the games began! Two tables set up for Marbles and a big table for 6 handed Spades were on the go along with lots of chatter and laughing. My friend Jane was introduced to the Marble craze and had a great time even though she said she didn't have a clue what she was doing! Anyone playing the game professes that it's easy to learn but when you are trying to teach someone you see that it is quite complicated and it takes time to learn the strategies. She was a real champ though and struggled through it with dad as her partner and they even managed to win a few games. Debbie Kozicki kept everyone in stitches throughout the party, while my sisters Pat and Catharine kept everything well organized and running smoothly. There is always lots of pre and post work to be done to hold such a party and it needs to be noted that they did an awsome job!
When it was time to cut the cake Debbie indicated that dad must don the infamous Marble Gang birthday hat which he did while holding the knife up pointing in Debbie's direction. Cake and icecream were devoured, coffee and tea consumed and the long awaited night was over. All good things must come to an end and so it did.
