As the old saying goes,"I've come a long way, Baby!"
And (like the Energizer Bunny) I hope to keep going and going and going...
I did not follow the rules of etiquette and invited my family and my brother John and his family and my girlfriend Linda (Margie) to my 75th Birthday party at nice restaurant...And...I asked them to pay for their own meals...Of course I said I would furnish the the dessert and party hats...This was not your usual way to have a birthday party...In fact...It was quite a cheap way to celebrate my birthday and receive presents as well...Let me say here that I am very lucky to be related to everyone who came to my party and brought me gifts...I thank you one and all...The party was a success and I know that I personally had a great time...I especially want to thank my daughter Sandra for the wonderful bag of "over the hill" gifts she found for me...They brought many laughs from all that were there... And my lady friend, Linda (Margie) who helped set everything up at the restaurant and took oodles and oodles of photos on her phone camera...
