Mr. Mike Turns 59

We celebrated this crazy guy's birthday yesterday!

He wasn't very excited about the day because...

1. He said 59 isn't a big deal...60 is!

2. Funding is low so that meant the celebration was minimal

& 3. He just doesn't get very excited about much anymore.

I told him NOT celebrating wasn't an option since his

kids all wanted to do so....so after working in the yard

all day, he mustered up some enthusiasm and we

met all the local kids and their spouses for dinner.

We met at the Olive Garden (noticing a pattern here?)

and had a great time. Even Grandma Billie joined in

the festivities.

*** Side note: Mike is a champion in my book

for being so wonderfully patient and caring

to Grandma Billie who is staying with us!!

Seriously, what's NOT to be excited about when you are

surrounded by these people? They all love their Dad

no matter what his demeanor....and guess what?

SO DO I!!

Happy Birthday, Honey!

There's great stuff yet to come...just wait and see.

XOXOXO
