Let the 4th Quarter Begin...
OK…we just passed sixty heading for eighty…and maybe some “overtime” and let me tell you about the kick-off party the kids had for me. No doubt the best birthday party I have ever had! What I wanted was a backyard picnic of just our children, their mates and their kids. Only one portion missed the event because they are on the West Coast and Pregnant.
What I got was exactly what I had in mind. I saw my daughters with their mates…two married and two more in very wonderful relationships.
Only two grandchildren made the event and they were treated like kings. Those two little guys ran around endlessly, challenged everyone to soccer matches, baseball games and horseshoes. You know what those two little guys will grow up to be? I have no idea but they have that competitive spirit already thriving inside.
Julie’s husband Bob remains the King of Leisure Sports as he reigned over the Horseshoe Pits and the Dart Board. Matt was wonderful discussing his movie interests, Rob shared his endless positive spirit throughout the day, James ruled over the Weber Grill and I pretty much soaked up the love that they all brought for me.
Colleen made shirts that had “I (Heart) and my picture” on them.
Shannon brought our latest family addition, Drake the dog. Him and I are Buds and will spend time this summer walking around the track. Julie brought some appropriate old age gifts and Kelly, as always made me smile.
No one had to spend a buck on a gift…I already have way too much stuff. The gift they gave me was to see how wonderful they are doing as people and how much they love the people in their lives. Makes me want to make it past the fourth quarter of my life and go for a little “overtime.”
