Thank you all. Thank you much. This was my second time for reaching 30. (After 30, I started over ) I told my oldest daughter the secret was knowing when to stop or when to start over. Hee hee.

Sorry wasn't on at Pixies more. Yesterday about 30 folks met my wife and I for coffee and coffee cake at "Arby's" where we all get an almost daily shot of caffein ... and I thought, "Hey, that was nice."

Today, my wife said she had some work to do with a ladies auxiliary she belongs to and so left the house around 1PM. About 1:30 I got a call from a friend saying the ladies needed help moving some furniture and asked if I'd help. Said, okay and we went over about two PM.

My whole family (all seven kids and four grandkids), some twenty or more friends from our town, and a dozen or so long time friends from years ago had put together this big surprise party. I was totally surprised. They had cake, sandwiches, snacks, cards, presents, punch, coffee, and everything else. A big banner and balloons on all the tables. I was really overwhelmed.

Now you guys/gals surprise me again.

All I can say is ... THANK YOU! You've made turning 60 something really special. WOW!

Heck, if I'd known I'd have this much fun, I wouldn't have started over.
