I have had a great birthday, and Ron and Kathy will be here today.

My oldest son showed up first and he is not one to stay very long, but yesterday he was here for nearly 2 hours.  We fooled with the card he got because it was supposed to sing Happy Birthday and light 4 candles on the card.  He finally got it to play. Then of course, he got me a gift card for 50.00 at Shopko.  We both thought of Alan and how it will be  21 years the 21st of December  that we lost our son and Brother.  He normally gives me  quick hug.  and is gone.  This time he prolonged it a little. and we both felt good.  He is so big. 6 ft 4 and, overweight, but I look at it this way,  he is not alone if  you just look around.  He doesn’t have to look far.  He has had 2 hearing aids for years.  A teacher caught it in Junior High.  He said when he takes them off at night he can not hear  a thing.  I just want to thank you all for the Birthday wishes.  My blogger friends are pretty special.  Got lots of birthday wishes on Facebook.  Thank you Sherry for your Birthday wish.  Shirl, I have sent 2 emails to you but not sure it went out.

We were a little worried about Spunky last night because  he was limping more.  Turned out he just used it to much.  We gave him a pain pill and let him have our ice cream bowls to lick and earlier I gave him some birthday chicken.   3 little tiny pieces.  His eyes got so big and he looked at me like, are you sure you know what your doing.
