Paul: “Doctor Mary, I get heartburn every time I eat birthday cake.” Doctor Mary: “Next time, take off the candles.”
Today we celebrate, and we start by getting everything ready for this afternoon’s wild party. The dancing girls arrived a little early; Colleen and Mary danced around the house, getting everything ready. Colleen did an errand run for us, saving a lot of time. She went to Goodwill, dropped off Christmas stuff boxes, and picked up the food from Mrs. Andersen.
I didn’t think the numbers went up that high!
I do not feel too old but the other day, I tried to explain to my 4-year-old son Callen that it’s perfectly normal to accidentally poop your pants, but he’s still making fun of me.
Mary and I had a few minutes to relax and discuss getting old.
M-m-m-m-m-m Mary had a surprised expression!
Everything was ready by 2:00 PM, an hour ahead of schedule. Having Colleen here was helpful; she is delightful. Scout, The Wonder Dog, was ready to go and perform his world-famous crotch-sniffing routines.
You can see the entire party on our website: We have about seventy-five pictures of the entire event; we did not put the police arrival and paddy-wagon exit on the page.
Guests begin to arrive right on time, so we sit and visit for a while. There we twenty of us today.
As soon as the Duda’s arrived, Mary found Nick and put him to work.
Mary puts Nick to work; Nick was a great help today!
Colleen and Mary worked hard to make everything pleasant, and it was just delightful. I never felt so good about being so old!
Today’s hero was hard at work!
Mary enjoyed the celebration and told me, “Today is your birthday, so congratulate yourself, especially if you’re still young enough to remember it.” She also added, “Remember, no tattoos”
I could not let that go unanswered, so I mentioned to Mary, “I asked my mother where I was born and Mom told me in a hospital.” I responded: “Mom, was I ill?”
We visited and visited and ate and ate and then came present time! Before I attacked the presents, I reminded the audience of family and friends that I was so ugly when I was born mom said, “Oh, what a treasure,” and dad said, “Yeah, let’s bury it.”
I got a gift certificate for a head transplant! I knew I was UGLY, but a head transplant?
Dessert was served and we had Mary’s special chocolate cake and cherry pie. I ice cream was hardly touched; doesn’t anybody like anchovies ice cream anymore?
I turned it upside down and announced I was eleven; no responses!
Family and friends are important in life! Thank you all for a great time!
Visiting with friends!!!
Mary announced dessert, and I got so excited. I thought it was my birthday cake, but it was just the he-shed on fire. We hit the cherry pie with a vengeance; it disappeared within 23.4 seconds!
At the end of the party, we collected some of the delightful leftovers and visited Jan for a “Meals On Wheels” flyby. We sat and talked to her for a while before coming home. It was a super day!
Thank you, Mary and Colleen!
