I was at a birthday party this weekend as well. It was for my sister in law who turned 50, so it was much more subdued than the parties we used to have when we were younger! I actually still have photos from her 40th. That was a real banger! We started using a mix of vinegar, dish soap, and kosher salt for weeds. You have to get the good vinegar from the hardware store though. The 30% stuff. The grocery store stuff is too weak.
