Birthday Gifts

Yesterday was my birthday. I received several gifts & cards, for which I am very thankful. But the best one I got was a visit from my older son. Trace and Jennie came by for several hours in the late afternoon / early evening. We celebrated his birthday (June 9th), my birthday (June 13th) and Marlana'a birthday (June 14th). We had cake, gifts, cards, a walk on the beach, great conversation and hugs. What a great birthday.

Trace and Jennie gave me a Zuni kachina. I have always admired the Indians of the southwest and their culture, and have desired a kachina for a long time. This is quite an honor for me. It will receive a place for all to see (but not one kids can reach) in my house forever.

Valerie knows that I am proud of being born in Chicago and always consider myself a Chicagoan. The Chicago Cycling Club's official jersey sports a Chicago flag and I have always wanted one. So for my birthday, she joined me up and ordered one of the jerseys for me. Way Kewl!

I also got cards and gifts from my step daughters, Marlana and Amanda, as well as Amanda's husband, Jon. Thanks all.
