More B-day Stories

Two great stories that helped make me birthday special...

I think my grandpa is one of the coolest and funniest guys around.  He's 86 and getting ready to celebrate his 65th wedding anniversary.  We laughed a lot over birthday dinner the other night.  They got ready to leave and he joked about needing to get home before dark since he didn't know where the lights were in his new car.  He traded in his pick-up about a month ago for a year-old PT Cruiser about the same color as this one...p.s. Grandma called a little after 8:30.  They made it home safe.

The second story is for those of you with middle children (or at least ones that are quick-witted).  After everyone left the party, Blake-13, Logan-10, and I were sitting out on the patio.  I asked what they thought they would be doing on their 40th birthday.  Without hesitation Logan responds, "blowing my nose with $100 bills."  So I turn to Blake and ask him.  Once again Logan chimes in before Blake can begin to answer, "begging me for a box of tissue."  Not sure whether I have a big dreamer or a what....everyone thought Einstein was a little off.

Most of all, I'm thankful that Grandpa McCool is still around and I get to be Logan's dad.
