Oh, What a Beautiful Morning

It’s August 27^th. I’m sitting here, drinking a cup of coffee and mostly minding my own business. I am 88 years old today. I don’t know how that happened. I’ll attribute it to being happy. That is due to having a wonderful wife who is smart and fun to be around. Add three nifty kids who are also smart and fun to be around. Next comes four grandkids that are growing up just fine, and then throw in six great grandkids that are smart and cute, and you’ve got the whole enchilada for the close family group. Beyond those guys, I’m so lucky to have cousins and long-time friends.

November is a serious month for us. This year, Pat will be 87. Our twin boys, Russ and Doug, will be 66. Our daughter, Terri, will be 63. Pat and I will be married 67 years. The numbers just keep getting bigger.

We still enjoy getting up early and having coffee and the news. We are certainly not as active as we once were. We couldn’t survive now without our daughter, Terri, and the million things she does for us.

Thanks to all of you for the calls, cards, and Facebook greetings. It’s been a great day!
