75th Birthday

TO ALL MY FAMILY,
I wish to thank all of my family for making my 75th birthday such a special occasion. Made it less painful to realize that I had reached 3/4 of a century and it certainly does not seem possible.
Thanks to each of the girls for being present and for the grandchildren that could be here. We enjoyed all of you. Also a special thanks to Dan, Rob, and Todd for sharing their wives and children with us.
The open house on Saturday afternoon was the frosting on the cake and I must say pulled off with no suspicion on my part that anything was about to happen. I was really caught off guard. Your Dad had mentioned at one point he thought he would have an open house for me and I told him I did not want to make a big deal out of my birthday so I thought that was the end of that thought.
Thanks again to all my family and to Dave for many days of wonderful celebrating with our loved ones.
Mom
