Good days...good nights

I found out yesterday afternoon we had an overnight guest. Debbie called around 3:30 to tell me one of our grandsons, Andy, was spending the night. Andy took the phone from her to tell me to come home RIGHT NOW! I made it through the rest of the day but hurried home as soon as possible. I got home to pancakes made in letters. There were four cakes for A-N-D-Y; four for P-A-P-A; and twenty-three for   D-E-A-R  S-W-E-E-T  B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L  M-A-M-M-Y. That Mammy can really eat.

After dinner Andy and I took his metal detector to our front yard to look for treasure. We found seven cents...but one of the pennies was from 1942 so that was pretty exciting. After a movie and random snacks we got Andy to bed and we quickly followed.

This evening we finally got a chance to celebrate Jennifer's 40th birthday....did I say 40?! I'm sorry, I meant to say 37th...it's so close to 40 I get confused. We sat down at our table with the entire family seated around one table. Have I mentioned I'm the richest guy in the world. I felt so blessed I was afraid I would start to cry while saying the blessing. Luckily Cody suggested Sam, our youngest grandson, say the prayer. Sam says a good prayer...it's long....really long and it's kind of hard to understand everything he has to say but the family and the food were both very well blessed.

We all ate too much. Well, actually Cody didn't eat too much. Casey made sure he stuck to one helping and then let him have only one scoop of ice cream with his cake. Casey takes good care of her man. Jennifer takes good care of her man too. Debbie lets me eat anything I want whenever I want. Does this present a message of some kind.....nah....

Well, its been a long day and I only had time for two short naps. I guess I'll sign off and go to bed...by the way, the time is off on this blog. It's actually 9:23. That is 23 minutes past my bedtime.

Sleep well!
