Chuck's 50th Birthday

Happy Birthday Chuck!!! :)




This post is a little out of order, don't know how I did this. I think I thought I had already posted this. My mind, is not what it use to be. Oh I forgot 50 is just around the corner for me too. On April 22, Chuck turned 50!!! Wow, a whole half a century. Now that sounds old, but he can't be that old because he still plays softball. Anyway, last summer when we were on the plan flying to the Outer Banks, Chuck was looking at the flight magazine that they always have on the plane, and there was an article about San Antonio and the Riverwalk and it was at that time I decided that was going to be his 50th birthday present as well as our anniversary gift to him. (We celebrated out 13th anniversary on Mother's Day). I had it all worked out and got to dream about it for a little while, but instead here are the gifts that he received:

1) Front porch: had to be added so that we had protection from the rain. We had a major leak that ruined the hall floor.

2) New front door: love this!!!

3) Pool liner: I went out to backwash the pool and low and behold the sides were all buckled out. Time for a new pool liner. It is so nice to sit out back now and be able to enjoy the beauty of our pool. (That is IT will be nice to sit out back and enjoy the beauty of our pool)

3) New hall floor: once the door is done the floor will be put in. Yeah!!!

4) And then at some time the front lawn will get sodded.

Oh well, maybe for his 75th I will be able to afford a real gift.

5) Night with the family: by far the best gift of all. I had the FAM over, and we did enjoy the pool. Water was a bit cold and Natalie was the only one that got in, but the time with everyone was priceless as usual.
