"Grow old along with me

The best is yet too be

the last of life

for which the first was made

He promised us a whole

So trust and believe"- Robert Browning



The Mother of our children,Donna, called our son, Dan, and suggested that something be done to recognize my 80th birthday.

Something was done. Donna furnished the cake and Dan,along with Randy,Greg and Romona, arranged for a hall and cocktails and houer deurves(Spelling) Dan, Brigid and Summer were the only family members physically present but I felt that all were present in spirit.

Two of my friends, Loma and Jewell, compiled a guest list and I added to the list on my own.
All in all, some 100 guests showed up at the Tivioli Gardens resturant. Dan was the MC and one of my friends ,Purple, who used her walker when she came to see me in the hospital in November threw away her walker and danced for the group after she pushed her walker away.
We honored another gentleman,(The Chief) in absentia for which I am so glad that we did so because I received word this morning that he passed away.
No one may be at his grave as he returned to the earth but he was in our hearts and mind last week
The generousity of Dan, Brigid, Summer and the rest of my family was wonderful and I am reminded that
I among all men, am most richly blessed.

"The saddest are these,it might have been....

I have been indeed remiss in taking advantage of this wonderful outlet that Court has created for me, Glenndeavour. I could find some excuses but I will not so do. Needless to say, Court has now courted me back to action and as I return I am overjoyed to see that he has posted a current picture of himself. Thank your Court with all my heart. I will now try to post some exciting events of the past six months, at least exciting to me.

My son , Dan, called this morning and invited me to join him and meet up with Donna's brother, Jim, and his wife , Carol, for lunch. The extra bonus was that his daughter,Audra, and her husband were visiting from Kentucky. Audra is expecting in May and the girl will be named, Eva. They are an exciting young couple and Eva will be really blessed to be born into such a loving and caring home. Both are bilingual. Audra is fluent in Japanese and her husband is fluent in Russian.

Carol had to leave early as she is preparing for a Madi Gra dinner that her and Jim host for their friends later this week.
I can not thank Jim and his family enough for including me at this lunchean as well as Dan who helped to make it possible.

"
Of all the words of tongue and pen
the saddest are these
It might have been"
