Bob - Birthday number 53

Birthday number 53

Thursday, 22. October 2009, 06:37:28

The 20th of October was my 53rd birthday. The celebration of my birthday took place over a few days. My parents took my brother and I out to eat as has been customary for the last several years as we both have birthdays in October. His is on the 11th and that was the day we went out. We ate at a place called Ethyl's in O'Fallon. I had some delicious BBQ pork.

The evening before my birthday my wife and daughter took me out for dinner. We ate at the Olive Garden. I had a couple bowls of salad and I had chicken in an apricot glaze with vegetables. We had a nice evening. It was nice to see our daughter as we don't see much of her anymore as she is busy with work and then is often out with friends and her new boyfriend.

The day of my birthday was a nice sunny day outside. It was a work day so I spent much of the day at work but we did celebrate with a lunch for all October birthdays. We enjoyed grilled hot dogs, potato salad, chips, cookies, and cake. When I got home my wife made nachos and margaritas. Our daughter was home for a little while that evening but left. Rita and I then had a quiet evening together.

It was a nice time solid copper. Thanks for stopping by here and for your birthday greeting on Twitter.

It is good to hear from you jcstephir. I find myself looking forward more often than I used to. I too appreciate more the time I have with family and friends.
