Pip's Birthday is a Beauty.

The day started off with this warning as Plotnik and Ducknik approached the Golden Gate Bridge, but...

...three hours later they were standing on a bluff overlooking the Pacific at Sea Ranch, watching harbor seals snoozing on the beach below. Pippa's Birthday Party was a trip back to when the Plotniks first moved to the Meatball Kitchen, when The Great BeezyWeezy was good friends with Pippa and Steve's daughter Caitlin. Caitlin and Bronnie are both in New York, so they couldn't make it to the party, but...

...their third friend, Odie, was able to come (here, Odie is standing in the middle next to her Mom, Christine, in the red sweater). The three girls are all out of college. Odie is breeding labradoodles.

Labradoodles are a cross between labradors and poodles.

Pip, the birthday girl, is in the blue sprawled out across the front of the group. It really was a fun day, and although the three hour drive up, followed by a two and a half hour drive back, were long, it was all worth it when the sun shone on Sunday morning and Plot got to play ball two days in a row. Hallelujah (though he may not walk until Tuesday).
