My Three Score Birthday!

Today, I reached the ripe old age of three score. It was fun with kind messages from friends and family. My friends at work took me to lunch and I had coconut shrimp tacos that were delicious. Then when I got home, there as a surprise birthday party that included Carrie all the way from Tennessee! What a treat and wonderful day.

More work around the house.

This week we were busy as usual. I got the brick in the back patio back in place. Not perfect, but adquate. You might say they look homespun.


Then on Wednesday we had a contractor come in and install new concrete curbing in the front and back. Now, they were professionals!

But Thursday was the day I took the Charger back and got my truck out of the body shop. The dent in the hood is gone and she looks beautiful. The canoe that fell on her on July 4 is now safely stored on the side of the house.

A new recruit for the Army

Yesterday we went to This is the Place Heritage Park with Dave, Emily and family. It was a little hot, but we enjoyed the historic buildings and stories. It was also the day where there were civil war soldiers and Joey took the opportunity to enlist in the Union Army! (He is the one with the big "M" on his chest.)
