If you’ve been reading my blurbs here
at This Old House for a while
you will remember Jeff.
He’s my husband’s dear friend
and This Old House’s restoration guru.
His lovely wife
threw a 50th birthday party for him last night
in a building he made for her behind their lovely home
She has a way with this sort of thing…
There was a basket of these for all…
She calls him her Viking
because of his nordic heritage
and he kinda looks like one too.
They’ve been together since their High School days…
raised a business and a family together
Had their share of sh*t hitting the fan
and still…
love each other with reckless abandon.
Happy 50th Birthday, Jeff
Karen,
Nice tribute. Your photos really pop with the black background! Have a great week.

Your new background is great, and the header too!
I love her style and the cake…that's hilarious! You East coast folks know how to party!
The photos look great. I bet they loved having that last one taken.
The party looked great, too.

Happy 50th! She does have a way I can tell from the photos- how fun to be a part of something special like this.
Frame that last pic and gift it to them, Karen! Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
