Yesterday was Dave's (Hub) birthday and I didn't get to post because he had big plans...
He likes to cram everything that he likes to do and everything that he ever wanted to do into one day...the problem is that he wants me to do everything with him...
*- first off we did some yard work (didn't want to do this but we had to get the garden in before it gets too hot)
*- then he decided he wanted to go biking (I was already tired from the yard work but I'm still game)
*-now he thinks a racquetball game would be fun
(of course he knew I was no challenge)
...but I said 'no way'...
(I have a few more aches and pains than he does...it must be because he's younger than I am- 2 months can be very significant)
*- finally Dave decides to eat lunch and watch
a Bonanza rerun
(we always have 10 or so recorded on the dvr)
...this was also great because I got to sneak in a nap...
*- by this time, Dave is winding down
(did I mention age before??)
so on to the sample eating adventure at Sam's Club...this is one of hubby's favorite activities because he thinks it's 'free'...(I don't mention all the other stuff I'm buying and he pretends he doesn't see it...)
*- the big birthday dinner consists of veggie pizza and fresh strawberries for dessert because we have to be careful not to have anything that might raise our cholesterol...
*- of course the day wouldn't be complete without a movie
and 'Old Dogs' seems pretty appropriate...
Oh my...I thought that was such an exciting day -
but life doesn't sound quite so thrilling when we write it down...
(is that why we're supposed to keep a journal?)
...or maybe we could just 'get a life'...
...oh ya...been there...done that...
Ain't it great to get old?...less expectations...
I think I like that...
Happy Birthday, Hubby....glad you're in my life!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVE!! Priscilla, since you are older than Dave, you better toughen up... my dad always says "Old age ain't for sissys!!" With each new day I am learning that there is more truth to that saying than I ever thought!! But I understand where you are coming from! These days... instead of enjoying the feeling of being sore after a workout, I try to pace myself just so that I WON'T be sore! Since at our age, we mostly have life figured out, old age is to keep us humble!! Heavenly Father has a sense of humor, doesn't he????
