Alignment of Dates

I got my Federal Tax Refund yesterday.  I cashed it on the bus.

This weekend is brings an interesting alignment of dates

Thursday, April 1 is April Fools day.  For some strange reason I have scheduled a date with my dentist to complete my root canal.  Can dentists play April Fool jokes?

Friday, April 2 is the real April Fools day.  It will mark 50 years of marriage to the same person.  We were married April 2, 1960.  Over 70% of my life has been shared with one special person.

Saturday, April 3 Mom and I are invited to St.Anna for fun and frivolity.  The invitation makes it clear we WILL attend.  Actually, we are looking forward to it.

Sunday, April 4 is Easter.  This will be the first Easter in 50 years that Nana won’t be around for the festivities.  Somehow, I think she will be watching.  How many of you will get to watch your kids celebrate 50 years of marriage?

Monday, April 5 is son-in-law Tom’s birthday.  Let me see.  That makes the date of birth 1955.  The rock and roll era was just beginning.  Wausau will never be the same.

April 10 is Grandson Collins grand farewell.  Look out U.S, Marine Corps.  Look out Osama Bin Laden.

The rest of April is sprinkled with noteworthy birthdays.  Seems I have a 70th birthday in there somewhere.  There doesn’t seem to be anyway to slow the train down.

The next week is supposed to be 60-75 degree temperatures.  Open the windows, sweep out the garage and heat up the grill.  The sun feels good.

Love,

Dad
