Joe is 50

Joe, "the gardener" had his 50th birthday the other day and his wife, mother, aunt, niece and other family members threw a Birthday Bash for him.
My sister and I were invited. It was a fun party with some of the guys playing "beer pong." A live and LOUD band played while we visited. The food was delicious. Joe's wife made Chili Colorado; the sauce was outstanding. I'd love to have the recipe. It would be an excellent addition to the Winton Centennial Cookbook.
Here is another picture of Joe. He's wearing the "50" Birthday Pin with the flashing red light. Made it easy for his wife and mother to keep tabs on him last night. LOL. Joe's wife made the beautiful cake in the first picture.
In the second picture, Joe is opening his cards and gifts.
The party started at 4 o'clock, so we got home a little after 8. It seemed later than that, I guess because it still gets dark early.
