Birthday Party for Yvo and Karel

We hosted a birthday party for our friends Yvo and Karel. Everyone spent the night, so there was wine and conversation until 4 in the morning. Ben a long time since Grandpa and Grandma were up that late!

BBQ's at Villa Rustica

 We've had a few BBQ's with this late winter weather being so nice. This is some of Randy's beer cheese soup made with Leffe....he loves to waste it on soup to annoy his mates back in the States.

Sixties BBQ at Marina's

 My friend Marina, in the blonde wig.... go-go dancing below, has an annual summer BBQ in Brussels that always has some kind of theme. This year it was the sixties, and there were some great outfits. I just stopped by for awhile as I had another engagement, so that explains my lack of haute couture. Looks like things might have gotten out of hand by the evening.

Marie-Claire's Birthday Party

Saturday July 16 was my best friend Marie-Claire's birthday. She turned 57. Each year, her sister Patricia, organizes a BBQ and invites all Marie-Claire's friends. We had a great time. Yvo was cooking the traditional BBQ and we all were chatting away with our friends from Monsanto that we haven't seen in a long time and the family and grandchildren. A lot of memories, good food and wine but most of all we all had lots of fun.

My Birthday in Spain

Marie Claire and I went to Spain,  to Mom and Dad's chalet for the weekend to celebrate my real birthday. No surprise this time.  MORE PICTURES

A Cowboy and Indian BBQ

Don't laugh....we try hard to be like Americans, but it doesn't always translate very well.

Although Marie Claire does look like a real Indian Princess....if she would put away the cigarette!
