Cynthia turns 45
September 18, 2026!


Once again, we got together to celebrate Cynthia's 45th birthday. She picked a new place to start the evening off: Southerleigh's Haute South at the Rim in San Antonio.

The place had a Southern-style menu with a leaning toward Cajun food! Everything was delicious!

As you can tell, we had a full table with all my kids and grandkids!

We started off with cocktails and appetizers! The many appetizers included Deviled Eggs, fried pickles and cups of spicy Gumbo!

The Birthday Girl had the steamed oysters as her main meal! Here she is with James and her frozen margarita!

Below, Sylvia and George are enjoying a pina colada! Erica (not being satisfied with just one type of beverage) ordered the Frozen Flight with 4 different types of magaritas! To be completely honest, though, I ended up drinking about half of her flight! And the bartender that night was making them strong ! I'm not 100% sure I remember the whole ride home.

We all then headed to my house for cake, pie and presents! We had two desserts: Cynthia's favorite, a red velvet cake! The cream frosting on that cake was scrumptious! We also had a delicious Banana meringue pie! And before you ask, "yes, I had a piece of each!" Hey, I couldn't decide! Both desserts went fast! I even had a tray of cookies from HEB that somehow disappeared. I think the kids were sneaking them...

The middle picture shows Cynthia wearing one of her "poodle" earrings! There were many other gifts given that night including a small box of Zombie poop (pellets that snapped when you threw them on the ground)! She said she got everything she wanted... and a lot more! That's good. People should always get more on their one special day of the year!


The next couple of hours were filled with card games, darts and music!

The kids all had a sleep-over at my place that night and the next day they played hide and seek, watched Disney cartoons and painted ceremic halloween items. They had a great time together which was nice since they rarely get to spend time with one-another!

Range Cafe To the left is the picture taken just outside the restaurant before the get-together just before sunset! I was going to make a joke that it's a picture of Sylvia with a cow... Sylvia is the one on the right! But apparently, it was not funny to anyone, so I'm not going to say it! My honey actually looked quite beautiful that night in her shimmering skirt and Cowboy boots!
