Happy birthday to me sign

Karen Duquette started the day off in a lime green hat, but switched to the shiny, multi-colored hat that Renee and John gave her for her birthday this year. Renee thinks she is being funny, but Karen loves hats.

NOTE: Karen Duquette used to have over 100 hats, but now she only has about 60 hats because some shrunk and lost their shape in the washing machine. (That is NOT counting her winter hats, the birthday candle hat or the "Bad Girl hat" she got from Renee in 2009 nor the flashing birthday hat she got last year in 2023 - and yes, she still has those, but they are not in the flashback photo shown below, nor is her Cowgirl hat.) There are also some specialty hats such as an Elvis hat, SpongeBob hat, her U.S. Navy Wave hat, Route 66 hat, USA hat and more that may or not be in the photo shown below.

Below: Two more of the many hats Karen Duquette has. She also has 33 sunglasses now. She used to have more sunglasses, but some have broken or gotten misplaced. She is always on the lookout for more sunglasses, especially unique ones.

Below: Karen's birthday cake and family. Renee bought fun, colorful sunglasses for those who dare to wear them. Of course, Karen Duquette was the only one who wanted to keep the sunglasses. Karen's amazing son-in-law put candles on the cake.

lighting up the birthday cake

Karen Duquette does not like cake except for one that can only be bought in Florida. But they are no longer in Florida, so her daughter bought an ice cream cake for her. YUMMY - Plus regular cakes for the others. Great job placing the candles on top of the cake, John.

Below: Extremely small pieces of confetti shot out of the big thing on the cake, but the pieces were so tiny, nobody actually noticed the pieces flying in the air. They could barely even be seen on the table afterwards. But the cake was great and the fun thought was appreciated. It was fun!

Below: Karen Duquette is so proud of her great-granddaughter who made her a special wall plaque. And of course she also gave her great-grandmother a deviled-egg dish. (The little girl loves deviled- eggs that her great-grandma makes) HINT! HINT!

Karen's great-grandson was sick and had to stay home so he missed the celebration. Karen definitely missed him on this special day, as did everyone else.

Below: Renee bought funky colored eye glasses for everyone to wear on this occasion. As mentioned above, Anthony was at home, sick - so he is not in any photos.

Lee Duquette is holding up a card that had a restaurant gift certificate from Renee and John because everyone was also celebrating Karen and Lee's wedding anniversary. Karen does not like the fake-word "Congrats" but loves the gift and family anyway. Thank you Renee and John for this nice family party, the gifts, and the fun.

The two RV Gypsies went out to dinner for their 58th wedding anniversary celebration, using the gift card from Renee and John. Thank you so much. However, they did not do anything else to celebrate the day and sadly no photos were taken.
