I find it amusing that sometimes we celebrate because we are together, not necessarily because chronology dictates it.
Yesterday I was at an 80th birthday party. Art Clarkson came into my life a few years ago when I officiated at his marriage to a lady in our church. At 80 he is well preserved. Or should I say – “if he were 80”?
Art’s birthday is December 19th. But trying to created celebrations around the celebration of Christmas is always difficult. And all the family could be present yesterday. So the party was called and everyone showed up! And a good time was had by all, including grandchildren pictured with Art.
Art has a regular coffee group he attends regularly. I sat with some of them yesterday and heard a few stories. I wouldn’t mind being a fly on the wall at some of those meetings. May I enjoy life as much at 80 as Art does!!
