I turn 68 on Tuesday.

Happy Birthday to you, and the others who are celebrating about now.

I'm sixty-six today. I got to celebrate with my mother in White Rock, BC. We split a small bottle of Veuve Clicquot. I think this was her first time for French champagne, and we both enjoyed it. With my dad passing, there wasn’t a good time to celebrate my brother’s birthday two weeks ago so we did that, too. We had him on by FaceTime from Houston.

Last night, my wife shared Fourth of July fireworks by FaceTime from Tucson. She had bought a barrel o' fireworks from Costco, and with our son and her mother and brother, set them all off over the course of an hour. A very special Fourth for this new citizen.

I'm blessed.

“I’m sixty-six today“

Thank you and the same to you. And thanks for the nice story. My youngest son got to celebrate his first 4th as a citizen as well and we Skyped him in Oklahoma City from here in Calgary.
