Sixty,Kick the Can, and Sardines


Greg celebrated his birthday (60) with the whole family attending. The last one that everyone was able to attend was three years ago so that in it self was nice. Kevin and Lori with the three grandchildren got Greg two Navy flags to fly at both here and at the Beverton property. Trent and Becky got a DVD for Greg to enjoy. The weather was perfect enabling us to spend the whole day outside. BQ chicken, baked potatoes, corn on the cob and Lori brought ice cream cake for the Birthday Boy. When nighttime arrived I snuggled with my grandbabies and watched movies while the grownups played kick the can and sardines until midnight. When they came inside they found me and my grandkiddies sound to sleep in my bed. It was a wonderful day. Greg and I both are very grateful for the children we have been blessed with. Today we dropped off Trent and Becky at the airport. Then we took Michael to his new digs in Ann Arbor. On our way to Millington we spoke to Lori and her family. After putting fall flowers on our family's graves Greg said there now I have seen all my children this weekend. It was moving for sure that even after all these years we both feel the Lord had blessed us with four wonderful children. Okay I will stop being sappy but it is my first night with my empty nest again. Enjoy the pictures :o)
