Wow - I really got a lot of attention for my birthday. My wife and children made it as special as they could. Marcy basically made fun of me all day (which I ate up)and the children gave me some specialized attention of their own. My mother called me and we had a wonderful talk. After a wonderful birthday dinner (I worked at Costco from 11:30 to 6:30), Marcy had arranged for some friends to come over to watch me open gifts. I opened a card that many of my friends in the neighborhood signed. I opened some "prescription" bottles filled with candy designed to cure wrinkles, eye sight, hair loss, etc. I also received a plaque with an eagle on it - for my movie room.
While I will say that I enjoyed all of the attention ands gifts I received from my immediate family, I was VERY touched by the gift I received from my Grandmother and Aunts from the East coast (and recently Chelan, WA). They all wrote 10 unique items about me and posted them so that I had 40 reasons why they love me. (They had me at Happy Birthday!)
I would like to take this time now to publicly thank one and all for their phone calls, notes, cards, and best wishes. Thank you and I Love you all!
Glad you liked your 40 (now 43) reasons why we love you. Hope you've seen the updated version with photos and all!
