Marshall the troops!
As the guest list grew from about 8 to up to 16, more pasta salad was needed -- Kevin came through!

The riders returned -- burgers on the grill!

We had birthday pie and cupcakes -- the cupcakes got the candles!

Rick managed to have some wind left in him, even after the ride!

The group shot (most of them!) -- unfortunately, something was amiss with the camera and this was the best of three. (Possibly shooting in the dark?!)

And a good time was had by all!
Rick's Birthday Blueberry Pie
(or the way-easy pie, but don't expect it to hold its shape!)
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIbaJM2dXiuHRId1gJVwNI2MMMa1weLoat3O3ZVtPUG9Snt183ssUEMmQt8eTRaM5tIKG1AFwpKHX8sfd3KkEDTsnOGim4zMqwq6_PeIco7kyTh1Q1tmv3RuSn4h7J4kcrG7AaX1BSs-4/s400/birthday+001.jpg)
In graham cracker crust put 5 c. blueberries.
Mix: 1 c. sour cream (lowfat is fine)
3/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 t. vanilla
1/4 (or so) tsp. lemon juice and zest
Stir and pour over berries.
Top with:
(I fudge the quantities on this:)
1/2 - 3/4 c. oatmeal
2 T. brown sugar (Heaped and packed -- no mean feat)
1 T. flour (I heap it)
2-3 T. melted butter
Mix and pour over top.
Back 40 minutes at 375. (Put baking sheet under)
More likely to hold shape when refrigerated, but good either way!)
