I was surprised yesterday when our daughter, Rachel, decided to bring the family here to celebrate her birthday.

We had all kinds of fun. Car-E came out to greet the grandchildren.

Rachel asked if there was anything they could do for me. My answer was to wash four patio chairs, which they did.

I benefited and had so much fun this Saturday that it could have been my birthday celebration.
Happy Birthday, Rachel and thanks for sharing your birthday with me.
