Lost lobsters recovered

Imagine this frightening scenario - our good friend and neighbor has a birthday. We decide to surprise him with a lobster dinner party. How hard could this be?

We order the Lobster from our favorite joint in Maine with overnight delivery (I mean...why not...each of our past orders were perfect). A wave of panic sweeps over David in the afternoon - still no lobster delivery.

Our guests arrive at 6:00 PM - still no lobster! Multiple phone calls are exchanged with the Lobster joint and shipping carrier - "we can't find your lobster" the voice on phone tells David.

OK...KC and David are freaking out. Will decides to order Pizza.

Party goers make the best of the situation - wine helps!

Lobster arrives at 11:20 PM. What are the neighbors thinking?

So, after the drama passes - we reconvene at lunch for a Lobster and Corn Bisque extravaganza!

Ah...welcome to Chez LaCombe. Do you have a reservation?

Yum...enough said.

Hey...this one is still alive...ouch!

Um...can I get a hamburger? Actually, Bridget really enjoyed the bug.

OK Will, let Mommy show you one more time how this is done

Lobster debris everywhere!

Will and Uncle Ron blow out the candle.

Happy Birthday Ron - we appreciate you! You are an amazing friend and neighbor!
