Sixty-nine is fine!



Today my dad is turning 69 years old! I called him to wish him a happy birthday and he told me that he's 67 (big liar). He said he's going to count backwards until he gets back to 50, then he doesn't know what he's going to do. He's quite ambitious thinking he's going to live to the ripe old age of 87, isn't he? I guess the thought of being 70 is a little daunting. I can relate, to some extent, with the big 3-0 right around the corner. Anyways, happy birthday to my dad! "I'm goin' wherever you go!"

Now that's what a grandpa is supposed to look like. That's a great picture of him and Aidan. Happy Birthday Lowell, keep up the embroidery or is it cross stiching.

That would be embroidery, how do I know? He called me this morning to ask me a computer question that had to do with an embroidery book. Yes, he must have been desperate to ask ME a computer question! And I wish that I would have known it was his birthday! Anyway I LOVE that picture. It really is a great one of both of them! Happy Birthday Uncle Penny!

Happy Birthday Uncle Penny!!! Meredith - turning 30 isn't bad I promise! Now I'm sure I will feel different when I hit 40 but I was OK with 30.

That is such a cute picture of DAD. Have you seen him lately? I think I made him mad on his birthday when I told him he needs to SHAVE!

okay I know that I have already commented on this post, however I just have to say that you are so funny. You always make me laugh!!! and the thing I love most is your not trying to be funny, you just are! I wish that you lived here. I am always calling Shar up when you leave comments on my blog as well as other blogs (Cheryl & Rebecca's to be exact) and I read the comments to her while laughing hysterically! You keep us laughing. Oh how I wish I had your memory (or maybe I don't) Rebecca reminded me of a time I wouldn't let you have some KFC? I don't remember that! Hopefully you know that I always loved you, even if I was a butt sometimes!So keep posting!

Mere - I hope it's okay that I checked out your blog. (This is Kayla's mom by the way.) And I've gotta tell you - that little Aidan looks just like your Uncle Lyle. You've gotta find a picture of him at the same age and see it for yourself! You have a sweet family and I'm glad you're so happy!
