Another Birthday for Bill

Well, Bill made it through another birthday yesterday. Fortunately, this one was quiet and sensible, unlike his skydiving adventure last year. We were lazy in the morning, baked some cinnamon rolls, etc. He went to visit his sister Joyce for a while and talked to other people on the phone.

Later in the afternoon, Lisa, David and Ashby came over for dinner. Bill had requested homemade tacos, so that is what we had. We took a long time to eat - too much fun stuffing our faces, I guess!

He had requested no gifts, so Lisa and family just brought him a homemade birthday card. Lisa had made the card and then let Ashby use a crayon to color it. It was the first time she actually colored instead of trying to eat the crayons. They took a video of her working on the card and it was hilarious.

I just got him a gadget to use with the grill so the meat gets cooked just right - sort of like a meat thermometer with a remote that tells you when it is perfect. We have had a little problem with meat being slightly overcooked over the years, so this seemed interesting.

The rest of the day was just spent watching football, playing with Ashby, chatting with the kids, and being generally lazy. Turned out to be a good day.

Thank goodness he didn't skydive again. The bad news is that he mentioned that he was thinking it was time to try it again. I am trying to just ignore that comment!
