Thank you all for your kind thoughts.
I spent the lunch hour and early afternoon at my daughter's house, where she and my son and their families and SIL's mother, prepared a birthday meal. The centerpiece was a big pot of chili, my all time fave from a recipe left by my buddy, Charlie (RIP - he was my SIL's father)...he refused to let me have the recipe, even as he was terminally ill from cancer...but he trusted my daughter with it...thankfully.
the rest of the day and early evening was spent in our pool and jacuzzi...thermometer topped at 108F...smoked Fuente Mag44's with son and SIL to cap the day
good birthday celebration, but I told everyone that I am done acknowledging my date of birth...been too many...
