just an amazing day and happy 78th birthday Grandpa Bud!

 Anders grad party happened, many friends and family stopped by throughout the day--ate delicious Mariachi Loco, drank beverages from Johnnies, ate yummy cupcakes from Buddy's Bakery and sat in the beautiful summer afternoon shade. 

At the very end of the party--about 4:45, a big dark cloud started descending so everyone pitched in an got everything back into the office. I didn't get to say goodbye to everyone, but I am so thankful to the many helpers throughout the day. 

Very big thanks to Meg and Dave Andrea, Angie and Jesse Bond, Michelle Madsen, Emily Odegard, Michelle Johnson, Ibby Olson, Molly Olson, Joan Blomgren, Katie Olson & Siri Olson for helping throughout the day. Would never have pulled it off without their help.
