Birthday Weekend

I will celebrate a birthday milestone this weekend in Tyler Texas with Ma and Pa and Sis and Nephews.  I asked that the occasion be kept low key.   This request suited my sister who is in charge by default.  I love her to death but her organizational abilities are challanged and she lacks originality.  That sounds harsh but it's simply a fact.  One she would agree with.

This last year has been transitional in some ways.  My heart attack three years ago gave me a different awareness of my place in the here and now.  This birthday has brought all that into sharp focus again and wacked me in the head besides.  I don't need a lot of hoop-la to know I'm blessed with good friends and family.
