Happy Birthday, John

Today is Johnny's birthday! What to do, what to do? Well, he worked today so that negated anything happening during the day so we are now discussing options for dinner. We have decided on Montana's for the ribs! delicious! I surprised him this morning with his birthday gift. It was a 21.5 Monitor for his computer. I got tired of looking at the small screen (not that it's my computer). The computer at work is a large screen and my t.v. is 42" so it was time...!

I set it up for him while he was out for coffee. So far, so good. He said he is enjoying it. All the congratulatory messages (via facebook) have arrived in BIG, BOLD print!!

26 years ago, we celebrated a special birthday with a surprise flight to Las Vegas. I had to check with his boss to make sure it was ok first and then we wisked him and our friend Beth and her husband Rob off to supper and surprised them (John & Beth) with this trip (which we then had to leave quickly for the airport, right after supper!).

It was definitely a surprise. I had to pack his clothes ahead of time. It was an eventful evening as we rushed out to the airport after we had supper together, only to find that the flite was delayed twice due to mechanical difficulties and in the end, they could not depart till the morning.  They set us up in a hotel room overnite and provided little 'toiletries' for us to use as our suitcases had already been checked through security for the USA! But, 7:30 am the next morning, we were off to Viva Las Vegas!

We were only gone 3 days but it was a good time and the weather was great too.  Unfortunately, we aren't doing that this time but it's still a good memory!

Hopefully, I can post a picture of the birthday boy, later, after our supper together!

Altogether now.... H A P P Y  B I R T H D A Y ...J O H N !!!!
