We are going to a birthday party! Not just any little party. This one is for my brother-in-law, Glenn Caldwell. Glenn has been married for more than twenty years to my oldest sister, Dorcie. It is a second marriage for both. They married in Hawaii. My sister had never flown. If she wanted to marry Glenn enough she would have to fly to Hawaii! She did and they did. They followed that trip with many more to places around the world. Glenn is as sharp as ever but a bit feeble. He gave up bowling when he was in his nineties. He is the oldest, or close to the oldest, graduate of the University of Arkansas. He will be ONE HUNDRED YEARS YOUNG! They live in Fort Smith, Arkansas
We will visit relatives in Little Rock, Rison, Fort Worth and Dallas. We will spend Friday evening as a guest of Dr. Edwin Coffman, retired doctor and high school classmate. Saturday morning some of the graduates of Fort Smith High School class of 1950 will gather to eat and swap tales. I haven't done one of these things for awhile. I think it will be fun.
So........The Muse will be loose in Arkansas, so NO blog until June 15. By then, if I survive all this, I will be a year older. Seventy-seven.
"The length of our days is seventy years...(done that) or eighty if we have the strength...( we shall see)...yet their span is but trouble and sorrow....(not for me, Psalm writer) for they quickly pass...(you nailed that one, Moses)....and we fly away. (I feel for tell-tale bumps of sprouting wings, but none yet.) Psalm 90:10.. Take care, dear BLOG readers. I hope to return. Muse
