It's hard to believe that we celebrated Ronnie's 40th birthday a year ago....it seems like only a few months! Ronnie and I can both agree that since that time, we have had the busiest year of our entire lives. It is so difficult to surprise Ronnie as he is completely resistant to playing along. I tried to put a blind fold on him on the way to the party but he refused, not knowing that we were heading to a party in honor of him. I had to put all of the details together on the sly that afternoon so I was hoping he didn't catch on.
We had a great turnout at Andretti's Karting and Games. It was the usual crowd of family and friends, plus a few others that we have not seen in a long time. Ronnie was exceptionally thrilled by his cake which was a replica of his current car. A great bakery in town spends around 2 weeks using photos that you provide to make a cake in any shape you please.
The highlight of the evening was Mom (Joanne) racing the go carts. I don't think she realized how fast they really are (these are not the traditional go carts we rode as kids outside). She is so tiny that it was hard to see her coming around the corner. Each time she passed us (we didn't race....obvious reasons for me & Ronnie was worried about his back) she would give us a quick wave without taking her eyes off the road.
We are off tomorrow for a quick birthday trip. It's a surprise so I can't share the details yet but look forward to updating everybody when we get back.
