Not my 50th birthday which had already happened a year before and not the 50th birthday of any of our horses.

In fact today we were invited to friends Gabi and Sepp's joint birthday party. Her's was on the 7th and his is in two weeks, on 21st. So they had agreed on this Saturday afternoon and evening to invite all their friends, the majority of which are in one way or another connected with horses.

Gabi has an American Quarter Horse from the same sire as our Rosie and of course our good friends the breeders, Jeanette and Walter were also there. The six of us spent a lot of time together back then.

Took place in a large hall, starting with coffee and cake and then on to dinner. Everyone had wonderful, individually named large plastic coated place-mats (40 x 30 cm) asking: "Do you feel old?"

And then listing a whole series of things that will age you. For instance:
"You couldn't care less who shot JR and anyway haven't got a clue who JR was"
"Michael Jackson was always white"
"Coca-Cola was only ever in unbreakable plastic bottles, never in glass and only available in at least one-litre sizes."

A great do! Have shown on the map where they had their stables and flat back then. They moved on later. I don't remember exactly where the hall was that held the event.
