Birthdays – revisited

So this month is considered the birthday month my grand’s and Lori, even though they aren’t at the same time we like to celebrate them together. Why Lori wants to celebrate at this time is beyond me, I think she likes the idea of getting two birthdays.
The whole family was in, not only my brothers but Pops and some of my aunts and uncles and of course a load of their kids. They had 7 boys and 4 girls so we had a pretty big bunch.
Early Friday we had breakfast, catching up on everyone’s lives and where they might be going. Luke and his gang were banging about, Jacks was talking about work and school, two of my cousins are getting married and a few are about to have either their first child or just another. We had breakups and divorce conversation and of course, my all time favorite -- health chat.
That afternoon was shopping or cooking or napping for the ladies and golf or walking around on the farm for the guys. The kids hit the beach or down town.
Dinner that night was at a Japanese restaurant, that we all love, you know that kind the cook comes out and does a show over the hot skillet flinging food at you.
Of course, it wasn’t all giggles and smiles, I won’t go into the drama before dinner just yet, but most of it was outside the restaurant, so we didn’t look so much like the redneck family screaming at each other
During dinner I’m sitting at the table and my phone rings and I get the scowl from G, I forgot to turn it off and why I even brought it was goofy. Everyone that I needed to worry about was at the table; however I can say mine wasn’t the only one that rang.
After dinner presents were given out and giggles, my PG is a true nut at heart. He would be happy making everyone smile. He told stories of his youth and how he met G, funny little tidbits of what my aunts and uncles were like as kids it was pretty entertaining.
Today I am sleepy, tired and all on wore out, ready for a long nap. I plan on running in schedule for a few weeks, to regroup and then laze off.
