We got up early with Robin and had our coffee. We called Colleen, but she was out. Robin left around 9:00 am to visit her sister, and we got ready to leave for Whittier at 11:00 am for a noon birthday celebration at DeLuca’s Italian Restaurant. I remember when it was first opened back in 1967.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed the party with over eighty people joining the fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The birthday Boy had a blast.<\/p>\n\n\n

We had a wonderful meal, and we were smart enough not to eat everything; we have containers for tomorrow and probably the next day. During dessert, grandson Charlie joined us and talked about his first semester at Cal Poly and some of his classes. He is a very grown-up young man!<\/p>\n\n\n

Charlie decided to get into the party mood!<\/p>\n\n\n

Joe took 10,234 pictures, and I only snapped a couple,<\/p>\n\n\n

We left around 4:00 pm, went home for a short nap, and didn’t wake up until 7:00 pm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We watched TV for a while, then crashed because we get to meet Rory tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
