Happy Birthday James!

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

James turned 85, and he invited us to his birthday party at Old Ranch for dinner with family and friends.

With a few open hours, we packed away Thanksgiving, relabeled the boxes correctly, and stored them in the garage until we see Joe or our gardener, who will put them back up in the attic for another year.

We got ready to depart for Seal Beach with an ETA of 5:00 pm; we were right on time!

James made a little speech and then pointed my out laughing how he could not keep up with my and our bust “social calendar”.

I told the story of the time James got 85 after nineteen holes, and we were sitting by the fire.  When Robert came out with the drinks, we pointed to James and said, “85 today”.  Poor old Robert began singing Happy Birthday…. this was fifteen years ago!

Introduction of family!

we had great seats!

I was losing steam after two hours.

jamers versus the candle!

James won!

The ground fog was think on our way to the car.
