So I get up from my morning “nap” and my brother-in-law Wesley Yoder is waiting to invite me to Shari’s for birthday coffee.
I agree to meet him there for a while.
So after filling up with fuel at Safeway, I went over to Shari’s.
I found Wes at the counter and took my place next to him, ordered coffee, and set about to read the newspaper. And drink coffee.
And take some pictures. 🙄
There we are in the pie case mirror!
I’m about to leave, so we posed.
From there I went across the highway to BiMart to get some greeting cards, including an anniversary card for Russell and Shari — today’s their third anniversary as well as my fiftieth birthday and Shari’s sister’s birthday! I also got a print of the second photo above for Wes.
And while I was there, I took this photo:
I turned on the date stamp for “effect”!
Then I went over to Coastal Farm to buy a bag of chicken feed. And next door to Mega Foods (until recently, Shop’n Kart) for some bananas.
There I saw a neat old hot rod (I guess that’s what it is):
On my way home, as I was leaving Woodburn, I set my camera on the car’s dash and set the timer to take a photo. Here’s the result:
This evening was my second birthday meal, the first being on Sunday over at Madras with Luke and LaVay and Michayla and Lukes’ children. This evening, Russell and Shari were here as were my folks, Aunt Rosie, Miguel and Karen, and Brandon and Karina. (Wes arrived last night.)
Turning fifty was…well…not bad. I should do it more often.
PS: I’m just going to post this now. I think some things need fixing but it’s too late to do so now. Maybe tomorrow.
