    She did it!

     
    Well, Sharon did it. She staged a big bash on the 13th for my birthday. I knew she would do something; however, I thought it would be just a few people. I knew something a bit bigger was up when a truck backed into the yard on the 12th and a tent was erected. OK. Maybe a few jugglers, someone on stilts, a small elephant, a baby zebra. Maybe not. On the 13th people started arriving around 130pm and they just kept coming. More than 90 people were here. As I glanced down the road I noticed cars in the neighbor's field across the road. It didn't sink in at first. Yes, I was caught off guard by the number of people and who they were. There were cousins and aunts and uncles I haven't seen in more than 10 years. My uncle Ced, about 5 years older than me, who I grew up with was here. We played baseball together. We played basketball together. Wow!
     
    There were friends from Cannon who I used to work with and friends from the high school. Talk about Scouting friends. There were bunches of them. Even 89 year old Leo and his wife, Dorothy, were here. To top it off, two friends showed up late, around 630pm. We talked for quite a while and then went for ice cream in their 62 Buick convertible. Afterwards we rode around until the rain threatened. What a way to top off the day.
     
    I am still a bit overwhelmed by what Sharon and Sean and Dan and Louie (and others) did for me. I am so thankful for these friends. It cured me of the "blahs" I was experiencing a few days before the 13th. I only wish that Di and John, Will, my brothers, and the Livestons could have been here.
     
    Thank you everyone for such great experiences and memories. Thank you for such a wonderful first 60.
