GRANDKIDS AND BIRTHDAY

Oh my, another year has pasted.  Another year older and thankfully no debt just birthdays.  My father-in-law always said that when you get to sixty it is a good thing to have birthdays, consider the alternative.



I hope everyone doesn't see me as "Walter" the puppet from Jeff Dunham's show.

Both grandkids were here for a family get together and to give me birthday greetings.  It was a rainy weekend but we did not let that stop us for having fun.  My son-in-laws and I set up some bales of straw and hung targets on them for target practice.  We shot our handguns for about ninety minutes and just enjoyed being together.  We had a range of weapons, Glock 17, 40 cal., Colt revolver 357, Smith and Westin 40 cal, Springfield XDS 45 cal., and a snub nose 38.  We torn up some targets.

We dined at Preston's on the River for dinner in Fairlawn, VA.  It is owned by Va. Tech and is the restaurant on the Pete Dye Golf Course.  Not an elaborate menu but just enough and the food was good.  Their main restaurant on Tech's campus is much larger and has extensive menu.  

Ah, all is quite now and everyone has left.  We will have to plan another get together in the near future.  The way time is moving in retirement, next year will be here before one can blink an eye.   SLOW DOWN CLOCK!
