Happy 43th Birthday Travis

Happy Birthday Travis

We hope you have a wonderful day Travis and we think God will make this coming year special for you.
I have come to believe that birthdays are a time to celebrate, reflect and give thanks so by that standard your day should be full Travis!
We are coming to the middle of November which means we are past Halloween, close to Thanksgiving and have been in the middle of Christmas for many weeks already!  I think there are some things out of order.
Terry and I enjoyed a fun evening last night.  We had our neighbors Pete and Becky over for an Alaska halibut dinner.  Pete had flown in from IL so they arrived a bit later than expected but the evening was a lot of fun.  I think the meal was good too.  Our neighbors to the other side, John and Diane, were over for a fish dinner a couple of weeks ago so our fish supply is going down. 
I am scheduled to play tennis for the 5th day in a row.  I will go and have fun but my left leg is telling me it needs some time to limber up this morning.  I am hoping it is just kind of stubborn because I am so out of shape and that it is NOT because of that little nerve thing.  I will take some time to stretch and walk before I hit the court at 9:00.
I went down memory lane for a short while this morning on my way to put the garbage out.  Now that is a stretch one might say but the reason is my compound mitre saw went out to join saw heaven!  I purchased it  in 1998 with money from my Dad's estate.  The first project was to put the deck on the house.  That saw was used for more projects than any tool in the wood shop.  Finally I realized that the condition of it was beyond repair.  The last straw was when it was stored in a place that it should not have been kept.  That was the beginning of the end. 
I now have Veronica's middle name which is Therese.  I need to get the middle name of all the grand kids.  I should know them but I am guessing I am missing some.
I am in the middle of a picture project and it is getting a bit boring BUT in the end it will be good to have it finished.  I am sorting, throwing, keeping and changing so that down the road the kids will not need to do it.  One of my bench marks is IF there are no people in the picture or if I don't know who the people are the kids will not know either so out it goes.
FP--all gone!
