Happy Birthday Lenny!

West 12th Road was all but deserted yesterday afternoon around 4:30 p.m..

Why, you ask?

Because everyone was down at the North Channel Yacht Club partying the day away in celebration of our neighbor's birthday...Lenny DiVirgilio!

Lenny and his lovely wife Sophia hosted the Saturday soiree in honor of his 60th year milestone!  Truth be told, Sophia did all the running around...Lenny just showed up!

It's a grand group of friends who take time from their busy schedules to wish one of theirs a "Happy Birthday!"

Another group of well wishers!

OK...now there all just sitting and asking "When's the food gonna be ready!"

If you can't whet your appetite...wet your whistle with the assistance of our lovely barmaid Denise!

The food is ready (and all delicious) but Lenny instead enjoys the first dance of the evening with his daughter Louise!

Mary Ann, Donna, Kathy and Grace....This table is definitetly up to no good!

No I'm sure it's put left foot in and put your right foot out!

Why are those two doing the "Chicken Dance?  We're playing Lady Gaga!

"Are you the official photographer for Lenny's party?", these two lovely ladies queried.

Actually Mary Ann is the block's "official photographer", but she took yesterday off!

Notice in the background how close Lenny and Sophia are dancing together...ain't love grand?

I apologize for the blurry picture but I had to snap this one fast to catch Sophia "shaking her bootie!"

"They're all acting kinda silly if you ask me!"

Who is this guy with the camera and why won't he go away?

Now this is how we dance to Lady Gaga!

Who is Lady Gaga?

Happy Birthday Lenny!

Bob McCarthy moving to "Eminem!"

Happy Birthday Lenny...even if you did keep us in the closet all night!

"Ohhhhh look! Someone brought Lenny his chocolate beer!"

"Now this is how you do the chicken dance!"

It took me quite a while but I finally managed to have this lovely lady look at the camera and smile!

They're laughing because they snuck some "coffee milk" into Lenny's glass! (inside joke...then again,

 maybe not.)

You just know these three are up to something!

"When nobody's looking I'm gonna grab the centerpiece!"

Happy Birthday Lenny!

The three women on the left are representatives from P.E.T.A.!

(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals...animal skin print shirts...get it?)

"Does Mr. Heaphy really not know who Lady Gaga is?"

And a great time was had by all...Happy Birthday Lenny!
