Today, the 28th of February, is my eldest and only son's birthday. My eldest daughter ,3 years his junior, and her husband is having a B-B-Q and birthday cake for him, at their camp...umm... Isn't that nice of them.... We will be leaving in a little while to go meet them all.

I hope we don't stay too late, as I have an early morning tomorrow and didn't sleep much last night. I have to go to Ashley's and keep all the kids, while they drive 3 hours round trip, to pick up their claw footed bath tub that has been restored. I can't wait to see it.
I use to lie, I mean kinda not tell, my exact age.-lol-For instance, I used to say when I was 50, that it was my 15th anniversary of my 35th birthday. That's not exactly a lie, now is it?!! Do the math if you must and it will add up to 50, but it SOUNDED better than saying 50. Now 50 looks good, even 60 not so bad-lol- Today our son Brian is 47 born in Stuttgart, Germany when we were in the military....Where does the time go....Boy, my HUSBAND is getting old!-LOL-LOL

I'm glad you got a laugh, that was my intent, to make you happy.
All my kids and grands and my great g-son were there but 2, Brian's middle son and Marsha's oldest son. The BBQ was so good, as were the 'fixin's' /sides. When the cake was brought out, they said the fire alarm had been set off because of all the lit candles-lol- Nice time had by all, thank you.

Hello Toogie, I love your humour...............Just imagine if he was born on the 29th February, he would only have a birthday every 4 years!! Then you could say he was only...........?yrs. Janette

My husbands cousin was born the 29th...she either celebrated the 28th or the 1st, must have been confusing....I think people need to laugh, makes you feel so much better. I think the last time my husband laughed was a few years ago when I came out of the sewing room with my hat on, I mean my box I made, on my head! I know his laugh was an accident, it came out before he thought, but I bet he felt better!-lol

You do not look a day over 50. Receding eyesight helps. Enjoy the get together.

Oh I do love you!...tell me again who you are-lol- ...Speaking of bad eyesight. My sister's friend just had eye surgery and she told the doctor she was going to sue him. He asked her why, couldn't she see better? She said yes, but before the surgery she couldn't see all her wrinkles!-lol

Oh Toogie you have made me laugh. Celebrating the xth anniversary of your 35th birthday. One I must remember. Enjoy the family gathering celebrating your sons birthday. Sounds by your interesting calculations that he will be older than you soon

Oh Caroline, you are so right! Brian, our son, once told me when it was my birthday, that I would have to move up because he was almost that age!-lol-
