BIRTHDAYS

There is a milestone coming up this month. On the 20th our daughter turns 45!! As I told her it seems as if her dad and I should be that age, and she should be in her 20's. You know looking at that picture of John, he really hasn't changed a bit. He is exactly 20 years and 2 days older than her. Yes the month of June if pretty full. Father's Day - John's birthday - and then (everyone is always tired of them by the time we get to me) it is my birthday. By the way, that is Dave with what is left of his quilt, you can just barely see it. It started out about the size of a crib quilt. By this time it had been burned, washed about a million times and drug all over country. His birthday was in Jan on the 20th of 1962.

Notice the socks, other wise it doesn't look too pitiful. I always think how pitiful I look in the old pictures, I say pitiful, because I always think I was in style. Trice was a BIG baby, almost 9 lbs.

I've always loved this picture, it is so sweet (she will probably kill me). It was about Sept. or Oct when this was taken.
I'm writing this on Saturday evening as we have on call. That is staying the day room all day by the phone so if someone needs help, we are just a phone call away. I dislike this duty .... give me dishes to wash, or laundry to do any day. There just isn't enough to do. We are either very busy or very idle. The head of volunteers is still tweaking the schedule. We are gradually learning everyones name, by the time we get it down it will be time to leave.
There is a resident here that has Alzimers and she was working a puzzle one day. Finally she refused to do any more, said she was not getting paid to do it! She and her husband (he's ok) are retired Air Force Majors. As one volunteer said, you never know when you will be like them.
So on that note, I quit.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRICE ..... WE LOVE YOU, mom and dad
