Dear Family and Friends,
Today has held many enjoyable moments! I walked this morning after a 105 blood sugar reading, a good number. Then I quickly got ready and Marilyn and I picked up Keanna, drove to Sabbath School with an on time arrival. Kim did a great program and then we took Keanna to play for a bit before meeting Nikki, Steve and Kallie, Bob and Carrol at the Olive Garden. Bob, who is always faithful to his word, had brought coupons worth $4 off for each ticket. We all enjoyed conversation, took turns admiring the baby and rejoiced in Carrol's good health. It was a great pre birthday celebration. Then Steve surprised me with a round of golf at Bethel Island, we were the only ones there practically and we found a brisk breeze, pretty surroundings and many excuses for not hitting the ball like we intended. I fully enjoyed just having the time with Steve who works so hard at several different professions just to keep his family supported. He is really an amazing guy and totally shocked me with the whole idea. Much later I came home very sore, stiff and very happy and relaxed. Thanks Steve for your very special birthday gift.
When I got home I made some toast from my new loaf of bread and then Lois came over to invite us over for some cake and to meet their friends. We sat on the back deck in the cool evening breezes with the torches burning enjoying a very relaxing time with genuine people. How can you beat that and great cake too.
Now we are winding down. Ken and I will walk tomorrow early and then I'll take care of a few things around the house getting ready for our friends and neighbors in the late afternoon. This getting older might not be so tough if it means getting to spend time with such great friends and relatives. This evening Dana called from Houston to bring me up to speed on lots of things but to also mention she and Ron came home from their special gambling get away spot called Chishada (spelling probably totally wrong), they came home with $1800 in winnings. Wow, I am impressed.
What a blessed day, not one I could have planned ahead of time and one that had so much joy and peace in it.
love to all,
Tim

Hi Tim & Marilyn,
We did so much enjoy Our Lunch & visit with You & Marilyn & the Family. What a special One that new little girl is, such a mild mannered little thing , how fortunate Steve & Nickie are to have Her. It was so good to have Steve there with Us too. We so seldom get to see Him and to have that Lunch time with Him there was very Special. Good to see Marilyn again too She is such a ray of sunshine to all around Her.
Hope You Birthday Party was & is a fun time for All, as We were not able to be there We so much appreciated the Lunch time with You at the Garden.
Good for Dana!, at the Casino, I guess 8-8-08 was the lucky time for Her. We did not do as well but managed to come home with more than We went up there with and I've learned that when You can do that it is a WIN !!
My Sister Patty & Husband Chuck are on their way here from Palm Springs as I write an should arrive here this early evening. We will have them here for the week and plan to do some special things together.
Have a good week ahead and stay safe,
Love You,
Bob & Carrol.
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday from NC.... Happy Birthday to you! ~ And many more!
I hope your party was a smashing success and a good time was had by all. I'm sure it was everything you had hoped for. Actually 60 isn't so bad. People think you finally know something and start to listen to you.
Now I'm looking forward to the blog from today.... Tell us all about it!
Love ~ Carol
