We celebrated my sister's 60th birthday in New Orleans. Since it was at an airbnb we couldn't plant 60 flamingoes in the yard so we put 60 rubber ducks in the living room. My other sister made some signs such as "Keep your dukcs in a row." We rearranged the ducks, at times, to make "60" or the next day to spell out her friend's name, who turned 60 that weekend also. Everyone took some ducks home and lots of memories! :)

The ducks take their place in Big Easy - The gal of age sixty gives squeezy. A party with quips and dip with some chips. Though fun, it was all a bit cheesy.

Ha, ha! Did you remember to include a life-size pink plastic flamingo, and a 1950's Japanese transistor radio?! ~ Kitsch Carson
