101 Ways To Live To Be 101

Grandpa is 101 days away from turning 101! The countdown is on! So, Brenda and I sent him a huge box of gifts....101 to open. The theme is "101 ways to live to be 101". Each gift is wrapped and contains a card with the message. These include "Always Count Your Blessings" with a giant calculator, "Greet Each Day With A Smile", with a huge smiley face, "Strive For Financial Security" with candy money, "Never Pass Up An Opportunity To Go Fishing" with gummy worms ...and 96 more!! The newspaper is planning to do a feature on it. Grandpa is amazing! He is sharp as a tack and has been in great health. He lives in an assisted living facility but strives to be as independent as possible. He keeps current on events and fills us in on these during our Sunday calls. If we can all be so lucky!

Here's to living a good, long, healthy and happy life!

Different Music!

We just returned from Vegas and a great visit with our Awesome A's....Awesome Autumn, Awesome Austin and Awesome Alexis. Autumn is 12 and just had her first violin recital while we were there. Check out this AWESOME girl with the AWESOME pink violin!

We also went to see "The Rat Pack Is Back". We crooned along with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra to a 12 piece orchestra. The setting was "Old Las Vegas" and it was easy to imagine that we were transported back in time. I wasn't lucky enough (or old enough - Ha!) to be chosen for the lap dance with Marilyn Monroe who stopped by for a visit. But, it was a great evening nonetheless! We ended up with front row seats and could literally touch the stage!

Hope your week is going well! Put next week on your calendar and join me at the Taste of Wine Friday night and the West Carrollton VFW Saturday night. Brenda will be cooking for the casserole dinner at the VFW.
