We hosted an Open House for Grandpa Bill for his 91st birthday. He was pleasantly surprised, (even if we had told him he would have forgotten and still been pleasantly surprised, that is the great thing about getting older ) We had a great turnout even though it was a stormy night, (we lost power for a short time!) Family and friends gathered to help celebrate this occasion. He received lots of cards and goodies. He needed help blowing out those pesky, darn candles that kept relighting. Luke was happy to assist with that. G'pa had lots of stories to tell to whoever would listen, lots of memories swirling around in that head. We had yummy food and lemonade. Grandpa was at the " Y"(he is the oldest member) last week lifting weights, when he lifted his arms up, his shorts fell down around his legs! Good thing he had on his boxer shorts that day. Whew! Now he wears a belt. His favorite part of the "Y" experience is when he gets into the therapy pool. He loves to soak his bones. We are happy about that because it means he is almost bathing!
He is doing pretty well except for a pain in his hip, he has gone to the Dr and they are running tests. He is keeping off of it for now. He has been blessed with good health, though, all things considered. We remind him often of how blessed he really is!
