A Perfect 10 on 10/10/10

Our wonderful friend Sarah (a perfect 10) turned 50 today. She celebrated occasion at the incredible cabin she and her husband built. Until now, Dave has kept me from the cabin knowing I would want one exactly like it. (He was right. I could move there in a minute and not change a thing). Sarah did all of the woodwork including the intricately carved cabinet doors and beds.

Sarah made the BrownStone Chinooks whelping box. Wood working is a hobby. She is a nurse practitioner and has been instrumental in Dave's recovery - he listens to her.

The invitation said to bring something that would remind Sarah of you. Party goers helped build a cement chair and table which were then festooned with the memorabilia. Sarah is going to need another party to help move the chair. It took 10 people to get the table top into the garage.

Dave has been diligently working on his exercise and diet. He is getting stronger every day. Thursday's cardiac echo showed a marked improvement. Sarah's cabin is at 5000' - an altitude we were afraid he would never be able to go to again. When he had his heart attacks, being at the altitude of our house was hard on his heart. Today he spent the day at 5000' and drove both ways. He even passed on the homemade, fudge-covered Oreo, ice cream cake. I would never have that willpower - probably why I am not getting as skinny as him.
