Happy Birthday

hat Detlef gestern gefeiert.  Jetzt hat auch er die 6 vorne.  Zum Frühstück kamen die Kollegen und sein Chef, Detlef hatte keine Ahnung und war total überrascht.  Die Leckereien hatte ich vom Bäcker geholt während Hubby mit dem Hund spazieren ging.  Aus dem Auto hab ich erst alles geholt als die Gäste da waren.  Leider habe ich kein Überraschungsfoto.  Aber dafür eines vom Abend den wir mit unseren Freunden beim Griechen verbracht hatten und danach noch bei ihnen weiter feierten.  Es war in allem ein gelungener Tag.

Detlef celebrated his 60th birthday yesterday.  Round birthdays are "big" in Germany and "60" is the age where most cops can retire.  So this is Detlef's year where he can become a couch potato.   I actually had some time to prepare for this since he has been home since last January due to his heart attack.  And his being home didn't make it so easy to throw a birthday breakfast surprise with co-workers and his boss coming over.  But while he was walking the dog, I drove to the bakery and picked up the goodies, left them in the trunk until they all arrived.  Detlef was totally surprised since he had no idea that they were coming over.  With all the excitement I didn't take a photo.  But I have one from the evening where we are celebrating at our friends home.  We had just come back from a delicious dinner with them at the Greek Restaurant.
