Birthday Boy

Poor Don.  His birthday was last Sunday, but we have both been so preoccupied with other issues, that we did not really have a celebration.  I did get him a card - and it was even a nice one.  And we bought him some lights for the garage.  And I let him upgrade the new tv - I would have been happy with a not-so-smart television, but he thought it would be cool to have one.

On Sunday morning, we gave the forum at church - we talked about our Alaska trip.  Then Don had to be the chalice bearer while I did children's chapel.  Then we had to do treats at church.  By the time we got home, we had already put in a full day.  He then mowed the lawn - whoo hoo! We did go to Firebirds, a new dinner place, and enjoyed dinner and birthday treats with the Gaskills and the Manns.

Thank goodness, on Saturday morning, we were invited to our good friends' house, the Dunlavys, for souffled pumpkin pancakes, which were delicious.  At least someone pampered him.  And he got to wear the birthday hat.  Lucky guy!
