Half a Century Old

Half a Century ........are you kidding me
Wow, so half a century ago, (yes, 50 years) I entered into this wonderful world. Today my darling husband and I decided to celebrate at the Braves game, (I know your saying it's her birthday, but I LOVE the braves and that is what I wanted to do), on such a hot, scorching, heat infested day. The game was smack in the middle of the day, 1:10 to be exact. First I had to drop my car for its check up, (much needed before we all head off to the beach in July) then we headed to the game, but first we stopped to grab a sub real quick. When we got to the game as we were walking in, Chuck got a phone call and needed to head back to the truck to get a phone number for his secretary. Now I'm thinking, wow, Jackie always has all that stuff (she's a great secretary) why in the world does she not have the phone number that she needs. Anyway, we head back to the truck and I see Bryan walking in the parking. I'm thinking what the heck, he didn't even tell me he was coming to the game. Then right behind him I see my sister, Karen and then Natalie. Ok, so SURPRISE is on me. What a great surprise it was. I was then wondering where everyone else was, but of course it was a Thurs. in the middle of the day, and so people do have to work. We get our tickets, and proceed to sit down and scorch ourselves. Actually, Chuck did great, the seats were in the sun, up until the 3rd inning and then we were shaded by the overhang. Of course it was till very hot. Anyway, just after the game began here comes the people that had the seats right next to us. YUP, Chad, Carrie, Meredith and Cole. Another surprise!!! Especially since Chad had not worked the day before, as he was in a golf tournament with Chuck. (It was a work related golf tournament which also included going to the braves game that night in a suite). Gosh, why didn't Chuck get a suite for all of us today we would have been in the air conditioning with all the food and drink we wanted. JKJK.
Caitlyn had soccer tryouts so she was not able to make the game. (Cait I did miss you alot, I promise). Just as the game was ending, it started to rain and then all @#$$ broke loose. As you can see by the pictures. We luckily found a spot near the stairwell and just hung there until the winds died down and the rain stopped. It was crazy. The braves lost dang it, but then we headed on to finish up my day. We all went to Red Lobster for dinner, where Whitney, Cole's girlfriend met us too. Dinner was great and of course the waiter and waitress' sang and brought in the cake that Karen had arranged. (We were going to hang out after the game and celebrate with the cake and all, but due to the torrential downpour that put a real damper on that). The day was just awesome!! One that I will remember. Thanks all, I love each and everyone of you.
