Another Birthday!

Yes, another birthday, only this one is mine. Today marks 61 years - yikes! My grandmother was 61 when I was a freshman in high school - and she seemed REALLY old.

And today I retired from desktop publishing the parish Sunday bulletin - after 14 years I decided I had enough of the weekly deadlines. What a relief! Now all I have to worry about is raising money for the parish grade school, putting together promotional brochures for the grade school, getting out press releases to the local media about the grade school, editing the monthly grade school newsletter, and re-creating a 20 year data base of alumni and donors that was lost in a freaky server crash. Hmmmm....maybe I should have retired from this job instead.

More Birthdays

A low key birthday party for twin grandchildren on Sunday, June 1, 2008, where cake and ice cream were served, a lively game of wiffle ball was played in the yard, bikes, skateboards, roller skates, and scooters were tested by various persons, and those gathered chatted and tipped a glass or two, managed to bring forth a huge quantity of gifts for the birthday children. Words of wisdom on this event: kids will always get LOTS of gifts from adult relatives regardless of the designated level of the party.
