Happy Birthday James
James celebrated his 21st birthday in many ways. First he surprised Mom and Dad with gifts in the morning he had his annual physical and blood draw in the morning, then he went to class, and finally after class he went to his favorite restaurant, Bubba’s 33. At the restaurant James met his friend Nick and his Mom who joined us to help celebrate the event. James surprised Mom and Dad by paying for the meal
After Bubba’s 33 we headed home where James had a surprise as one of his gifts was a new bed set including mattress, sheets, and covers.
James then opened gifts in the living room from Mom and Dad and after the gifts were opened we all enjoyed some cake and ice cream.
3rd Tiger Game in 2024
The Tigers are in a wildcard race, so we had that to cheer for when we went with Nick and his family. It was Nicks birthday which made the event that much more festive.
The pregame activities were great. Everyone got a free shirt to start. Then James got a foul ball during batting practice, and James was on Jumbo screen twice this game, a record for him. This was also Latin America night and their were some awesome dances and a tribute to all the Latin players and their contribution to baseball and the Tigers. Alex Aveilia through out the first pitch.
Unfortunately the Tigers ran into some strong pitching and did not score until the 9th inning (2 runs), but unfortunately Baltimore scored 4 runs in the first 8 innings to win the game 4-2.
Beautiful night in downtown Detroit, and all is not lost as the Twins were losing big time when we left the park. Big thanks to Nick and his family for inviting us.
Happy Birthday Mom
Happy Birthday Mom
This was an interesting Birthday for Mary because we had reserved tickets to the Beetlejuice movie on her birthday and because of this we could not have any flowers delivered on her birthday, so they were sent one day ahead which is actually our wedding anniversary so it all worked out.
The highlight of the gifts was one of those unknown presents that James had bought during our visit to Sea Shell City on the way to Mackinaw. No one knew what was in the package and that made it kind of fun for everyone.
Again, Happy Birthday Mary
Happy Anniversary 2024
James and Dad surprised Mom with two sets of flowers for an anniversary gift. This was our 22nd and its hard to believe its been that long as every day has been wonderful with this family.
Actually only one of the flowers (the red roses) was for an Anniversary, the other flowers (from James) were for Moms birthday. The reason we sent both flowers for delivery on the same day was because we plan to see Beetle Juice Beetle Juice tomorrow so no one would be home to receive the flowers.
A very nice dinner concluded the evening!
