Happy Birthday Swettie Pie! It is just wonderful to be able to celebrate yet another year with the love of my life. I have baked him a old fashion German Chocolate Cake today, his favorite, and made a lemon ice box pie and a chocolate almond ice box pie for our party tomorrow when the kids and grandkids will all be here to swim and swarm him with presents. Tonight we will go out to eat and just enjoy a celebration of the life which we feel is so very blessed. We are so fortunate to have family and friends and great health so, thank you Lord for another year of life in which I can share with Randy. After we swim and eat hotdogs tomorrow, we are going to watch fireworks with the grandkids. That is absolutely one of my favorite things to do. No matter how many years we have done this, I still cry when they play Lee Greenwoods “I’m Proud to Be An American” at the end of the fireworks show. It just always makes me so proud to be standing there watching the most gorgeous show light up the sky, with the grandkids (and RC and I) going “ooh, ahh) with each new firework. We always talk about which color was our favorite on the way home. So thank you, God and thank you military friends who have sacrificed so we are able to stand and still sing, “I Am So Very Proud to Be an American” Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Gotta go, am mixing up ice cream for our cake tomorrow…….Happy Fourth of July to All of You!
So then, after tomorrow, we can concentrate on MY BIRTHDAY! YEAH! 9 days and counting. Randy will not tell me anything he has planned so it will all be a surprise to me.
