Today, Celebrating Ben’s Birthday

 Photo of the day:

 

So for today:

Ben when he was starting to walk, wow, 42 years ago!

We celebrate several birthdays.  We have 2 single parents among our Grand kids and Sherry likes to do something special for them on their special days. Our Ben is 43 now. We had Corey for many years, we were not blood kin, but came into the family when J Jr married Carol.  He was a little darling and we considered him ours. But he passed a couple years back, so Ben is our oldest and He is JJr’s son. He was the guest of honor at Logan’s Steak House along with his sweet daughter Elsie who prefers to be called Elle at present.

Sherry said we had 20 present and enjoyed a great time. It is late, My beautiful wife is already in the bed and I got my kisses before she is off to dream land.

I will hand 2 small mini blinds tomorrow and the job will be complete.  JJ will move in soon I hope. Although I think all is complete, everything needs to be used to make sure no hidden glitch shows up.  It has been a tough 4 or 5 months, not sure the time. BUT IT IS DONE.

I promised my sweetheart I won’t tackle anymore BIG projects at HER  age.(Written with a smile !)  Of course I reserve the right to decide what is big or not. LOL

Thanks for all the nice comments.  You guys are the BEST.

I can imagine that no job is big for you anymore. You've certainly done it all by now. Good luck with the moving around. And happy Birthday to Ben! Glad you could get together with him. Family is everything !

Congrats on your project being completed! Happy birthday to Ben! You are the youngest 80 something I know, and I bet there are still a few "little" projects on your horizon! Have a good Sunday Jack!

Happy Birthday Ben. You will always have projects, tackle what makes you smile. I say, “Don’t stop”. If you do, you will not feel like tackling anything more than the TV remote.

New blog posts soon.

Happy Birthday to Ben! Glad you got your big project finished, but somehow I think you’ll find another sort of project in the future. You enjoy them too much. 😊 Sending love from Florida, Sheila Y
