Happy 50th to my baby brother!

I was 4.5 when he was born, he was #4....we were all just over a year apart. My mother basically handed him to me as my real-live doll. And he was! Such a happy and easy going little one. He is celebrating in Hawaii for a few weeks - well done! Good busy cold day with a quiet evening at home. My sweetie made his 1st ever crock pot beef stew and was tickled pink with the fantastic results, it was impressive. A bottle of red wine and loaf of fresh bread and we were doing well...finishing off the apple cranberry crisp from our weekend of company.
