Happy Birthday Jennifer

Today is Jen's 26th birthday. We celebrated with dinner last night at Friendly's. It was nice to have everyone together for a little while. Against Jen's objections we did the whole birthday routine with cake and all. When we sang happy birthday most of the people sitting near us sang along. It was great.

Strickland reunion.

Danny and Becky celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this weekend at the American Legion in Cortland . We had a very good time and the band (Doin Time) was great as always. We got to visit with cousin's we have not seen in years. Their kids have all grown up and have kids of their own now, boy does time fly.

Denny and Bobby both got talking motorcycle and come to find out Bobby has restored a 1975 bike it's the same year as Denny's HD. They talked bikes for a long time, giving me plenty of time to catch up with everyone else. I am glad to write everyone is doing well and are all happy and healthy.

A piece of Syvertsen history.

Denny and I went and picked up the Victorian etagere that had been in the family for a very long time. Tom and Cyndy are getting ready for the impending move and are downsizing, so it is on to Ovid for the piece. If I am understanding the history correctly it belonged to Grandma Welch. It is a very nice piece, Tom tells me that there was more than one antique dealer that showed interest in it during their moving sale. For the record it is not going anywhere. We visited with Ericka for a few minuets while we where there, is was good to see her.

After we left them Denny and I ventured down the the Cortland County Fair to watch the open horse show. It was very nice to see some of the old "horse friends". It brought back alot of good memories as well as allowing us to spend some quality time with Mom and Jimmy.

Speaking of quality time Sarah came to spend some time with us this past weekend. We had a blast with her. She was busy playing with Gunner, hop scotch, riding her trike and working on her sticker learning book. On Sunday the weather wasn't so good so we did more indoor activities. She learned how to sew, her first project was an Eeyore pillow.

Well it is official

Denny is the big 50. The party was a success, with people attending that have not been seen out and about for over 20 years. Those that did the ride didn't even hit any rain, what more can a birthday boy (or old man) in this case ask for, good weather, lots of good friends/family, food and music.

Three days and counting.

Denny is down to three days as a member of the 40 something club.

The big 50 is getting closer every second, as I type he is napping, it's 6:30 PM, hey what can I say they needs to rest up for the big party this weekend.
