Roger's Day - November 22nd

Roger celebrated his 47th birthday in fine style. Who better then to start the day with then his mother who brought him into the world all those years ago and his first born, Nathaniel. Roger and Nathaniel had gone up to Ft. Worth to spend some time with Roger's mother on Friday. They began Roger's birthday with a trip to the Allen art gallery. Mama Dee, Roger's mother, was shown around by my Uncle J.C. to see the large collection and hear about the paintings that my aunt and uncle had collected through the years. Being an artist herself Mama Dee enjoyed seeing the collection.
Lunch time was at Red Lobster. AND Roger celebrated the occasion in grand style by eating oysters on the half shelf.

Roger finished the day with supper at home in Belton. I prepared salad, chicken cordon bleu, green bean casserole, cold asparagus with sour cream, sour dough bread, AND Roger's favorite cade, German chocolate cake.
Afterwards he opened gifts from my Mom and our family (Kelly, the guys, and me) - stapler, Lowe's gift card, measuring tape, and his favorite gift, a STUD finder.

The evening ended with phone calls from Kyle, Jordan, my mother, and Roger's sister, Ginger.
