Celebrating 50 Years!On September 4th my wife, Rosalyn, finally joined me and turned the corner of being 50 years old. I turned that corner on March 24th and, over the past several months, she has never missed an opportunity to jokingly remind me that she was only 49 years old... but, would always follow it up by saying that she couldn't wait to join me so we could officially begin "growing old together".
We decided to hold off on the birthday celebration until the weekend and unfortunately, Hurricane Hanna pretty much made up our minds that it would have to be Sunday because she dropped a ton of rain on Philly all during the day on Saturday. So, after church today, we had a delicious meal at the "California Pizza Kitchen", the same place I celebrated my birthday. (For the benefit of those who didn't know me then, click here to see the photos). Our grandson has a cold right now and wasn't the usual life of the party that we have come to expect but, he was a little trooper and managed to get through the meal just fine.
Our kind waiter took the photos while we all enjoyed the birthday meal... I should have taken his name so that he could be credited as the guest photographer. My wife usually takes most of the family photos that appear on this blog (and my daughter has contributed some from time to time too). She assisted me with the initial set-up for this blog and works behind the scenes as my "post editor" and "spell checker". She is also the one who searches for just the right image or graphic to compliment my posts.
Anyway, for all that she does for this blog and in the lives of this family in general, this one's for her... Love, Keith (Tasha and The Booga Wooga too!)

Well Keith in her defense, she will always be younger. As far as her joining you, you may as well be 51 in her eyes. HAHAHA (I have this same fight with Mr.F-it).
And the rain was a hot mess here as well.
