It is Doug's Birthday on Thursday (9/11). He originally said he didn't want any celebration i.e. party or anything else. He eventually agreed to a get-together similar to the one we had for the family photoshoot recently. That is taking place on Sunday and I think there will be 23 people - daughters, grandchildren, partners, great-grandchildren and four first cousins.
Yesterday, however, after a very pleasant walk to the Whangarei Falls, one of the ladies in the Walking Group made a cake and another a special card. We had our coffee at our favourite restaurant where they are always most obliging.
Tomorrow, we have appointments in town and will go out for lunch and on the day itself some friends are coming here.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday Doug. 90 bumps should cure your bad back (if you have one).
ReplyDeleteNo bad back , thank goodness, in spite of washing the fairly large back deck ceiling and floor on Sunday and painting a ramp today.
DeleteBirthday greetings for Thursday...and hope you get decent weather for your get together too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Definitely fingers crossed for fine weather.
DeleteMarvellous. I hope you enjoy the family gathering. Happy Birthday Doug
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, enjoy the party.
ReplyDeleteThank you. No party, just a large get-together :)
DeleteHappy Birthday Doug for Thursday. 90, I think ceilings should be given a very wide berth, wish you a wonderful day and family gathering.XXXX
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean. He thinks it is 19 not 90. Trust you are both well.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Doug. Ninety is quite an achievement! Have a wonderful party.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Just about organised for tomorrow's get-together.
