Next up was Bob's birthday. Our plans were thrown out the window when I had to go to the dentist in the middle of the day, but we managed to have lunch with Max and Molly at Chili's where Bob ordered a sirloin!, and also have the kids over for a birthday cake in the evening - Woulette's Chocolate and Whip Cream Layer Cake. Delish!
On Saturday Night was the St.Paul Fire Foundation's Annual FIREBALL. Both the invitation and the program cover had a picture of Bob's helmet and hands that were taken during the Calendar shoot. The Executive Director of the Foundation didn't notice that a name was on it until after all 3000 were printed and mailed. Ha!
Bob and the other members of the SPFD Honor Guard presented the colors at the opening of the program.We had a special appearance of the MN State Fire Service Memorial Pipe Band and the Dalmatian Society of MN. They had a silent auction, a great Prime Rib meal, and a very nice program showing the St. Paul Fire Department at their finest. The emcees were Jonathon Yuhas and Joy Lim Nakrin from KSTP. Special guests were Amy Klobuchar and archbishop Harry Flynn. Dinner was followed by a live band and dance. The dessert was Red velvet Mousse topped with a chocolate covered strawberry. Delish!
