"The BIG 5-0!!"

Not real happy to admit it, but it happened and there is nothing I can do about it. I am going to have to live with this change in my life. I didn't want to do it, it was completely out of my control. The sad truth is I turned 50 yesterday. The big 5-0! FIF-TEE! Five decades! Only ten years to sixty! I guess I could go on and on but then I may turn this happy occasion into a state of depression.The kids gave me a surprise dinner at a really nice restaurant, (hey, like I didn't see this one coming).

And what would a birthday party be without the birthday cake that lets everyone know that you have made it half a century! And of course there is the gifts that truly share with all that your age is timeless, and over time your age is now showing.A little something for the double chin.For the saging parts of the bodyEven a cane to help me when no one else will to cross the street.This memorable Birthday party was made possible by my very mature adult children!
They all had a hand in it, along with the grandchildren. We were minus Tony for the celebration, he was out of town for work. But I'm pretty sure he was a part of this.
The candles were blown out cake and ice cream served. A great birthday! Thanks everybody love you all!And thanks also for the coffee cup to remind me every morning that I am. . . .

What a fun party! Only five more years and you get the senior discount at IHOP!

What a loving family you have to put this together for you.

Wow! 50!!!! Oh yeah,I'm ahead of you by a couple of years and yes there is life after 50. A few little aches and pains to remind you that you aren't 20, 30, or even 40--but life is still good, especially what you have been through this past year. Love you and Happy Birthday!!!
