| Happy 50th Birthday to you, Jerry! |
For the next minute, would you please give my little brother Jerry a moment of silence...before you grin from ear to ear. He was already getting the AARP mail...now comes the geezer jokes...and the adult diaper coupons. So we had to make it official...a party to celebrate his "coming of age". He tried to get sympathy for nearly cutting off his finger with the lawn mower earlier in the week. Yeah...right...like that's going to happen...not in this family! Due to this, he came up with a rather unique way of telling us all we were # 1 in his eyes.

| With brother Jim and mom...We had a great time at the party.... |
Jerry and Kathy had the party at their home (it sure is beautiful) and with their kids, Riley and Mikayla, we helped them get ready. It appeared the mowing would be fine for awhile. Karen helped Mikayla plant flowers, Kathy finished painting, Riley and I worked on some of the other chores and Jerry played the supervisor. We admired all of the work we did and then it was time to play! There were a lot of friends and family at the party...the weather was perfect. Some of us fished for bass and perch or at least pretended, while others sat and talked. The trampoline got lots of use from the kids...most of the adults stayed far away for health reasons.

Just when you would think that we had enough fun for the weekend, I should also mention we had two trail rides with the horses. We traveled throughout the area around Jerry and Kathy's home...they are close to some public land.
