Doug's 60th Birthday Was a Fun One

I'm a little behind on blogging but I can't miss this day. August 25th Doug turned the big 60.
I put signs and balloons all over the house. My sister Cathy had all kinds of ideas for me from her 60th and her husband's. Thanks Cathy for the fun ideas.

It was time for some fun. Doug is a private person and doesn't like a big deal for his birthday. So we had our own celebration.












One of Doug's favorite treats that he doesn't get very often is cheesecake. So he got a cheesecake that says, "Aged to Perfection".

Since it was such a special occasion we went to Cool Hand Luke's for dinner. It is a Steakhouse that we have heard a lot about and the food is delicious. It was a fun day.
I'm so grateful for the 37 years that we have known each other. Doug never thought with his diabetes that he would live to be 50 let alone 60. I hope he has many more birthdays to come. He loved all of the calls from our children and grandchildren and the special touches they put to their packages they sent . He loves his children and grandchildren very much.
