A pile of presents and birthday cards lay in the center of the table. Next to them were two bags of presents.

The birthday table cloth was made of plastic and featured a design of birds perched on branches. Half the branches were black, and the other half white.

The party plates, cups, and napkins were decorated with flamingos, toucans and palm leaves.

One of Terry's gifts was a multi-unit bird house, hand painted by Denver's two sons, Westley and Oliver.

Terry held up one of her gifts, a set of dish towels in a bird theme.

Another of Terry's gifts was an automatic jar opener. Two AA batteries were inserted into the device, and then it was used to open two jars of hot fudge for the ice cream. Terry wanted ice cream instead of cake for her birthday.

Terry held up a Happy Birthday card she received as part of her stack of presents.

Oliver helped Terry open her last box of presents.

An open tub of chocolate mint ice cream had been partly eaten during the party. Other flavors on the table were Coffee, Rocky Road, and French Vanilla ice cream.

A design had been created inside a French Vanilla ice cream lid. The design was created from blue plastic and vanilla ice cream.

A pile of yarn rested on the birthday table cloth. That yarn had nothing to do with the party.

A partly eaten bowl of French Vanilla ice cream remained in a glass bowl. That ice cream had been decorated with broken Oreo cookies.

The dog named Gypsy was alert and ready to clean up any dropped or spilled ice cream.
