Birthday Weekend

I spent Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday morning in Hudson with Dawn and Family. (read posts below) It was great. Skylar, our Grandson, came home early that evening because he knew Grandma was there, that was so sweet. What was even better was that he visited with his Mom and me from 9:30 to almost 1 am. We kept saying we needed to get to bed, but we were having such a great visit, and a good time that we just hated to head upstairs. Couldn’t believe that the time flew that fast, and before we knew it, it was 1 am!

The time there was good, with Skylar, with Dawn and a dinner out to our favorite Italian Restaurant (birthday treat for me), and even a delicious special birthday cake that seemed more like the kind they serve at weddings, Dawn said it had to be “special” because mine was a “special” birthday .. .. the BIG 60. Now, when I was growing up, anyone that was 60 or more, was OLD… OLD…OLD… and now, here I am, 60…does that mean I’m OLD… well, I don’t think so. I don’t think age 60 is what age 60 was 40 years ago!!! (At least, that is the new saying that us baby boomers have!)

Yesterday morning Madelyn (Granddaughter) and I went to breakfast together. Then she, Dawn and I went to an orchard in Hastings and bought apples. I drove back to Duluth in the afternoon. It was a beautiful drive, the weather much better on the trip home. 70’s and sunny! The leaves south of us seem to have turned colors faster than ours here, the leaves were beautiful on the drive home.
