Wendi turned 50 this year, and I (Charlie) turned 55 two days later, so we made a bigger deal of our birthdays than usual.
Friday, February 15, 2013
It took place in a conference room at Roxbury Church at 3 pm. We had food from Italian House: spaghetti, garlic bread and two Gondola sandwiches; the bread and sandwiches were sliced into portions. We also had punch made with soda and sherbet. Twelve of us were present including three children.
Thank You to all my many friends out there
that Wished me a Happy Birthday!
I had a very GREAT DAY! Turning 50 is not as bad as I
thought it would be now tomorrow Charlie turns 55 but
thats not old either.
Old is only a part of the mind that you feel. Or as the
saying goes YOUR ONLY AS OLD AS YOU FEEL. So think young
and also think positive!

My vacation week officially started today, though my last day of work was Monday, the 11th.
I used to be the Little Mmm Guy…
Now I’m the Old(er) Little Mmm Guy.
Check out the renovated website… a work in progress (but I’m taking today off!)

We attended church at 9:00; I made buttermilk pancakes with strawberry sauce and bacon for brunch.
Ran 11.03 miles (2:11-3:52 p.m.) ~ Beautiful birthday run… a mile for every 5 years! The 2-hour HM pace was a nice bonus :)

I got this mug for my 35th birthday, which was 20 years ago.
I still use it often.

A very hearty THANK YOU to everyone who sent me birthday greetings!
If anyone asks how it feels to be 55, so far it’s AMAZING! I had a great day
yesterday… church in the morning, buttermilk pancakes with strawberry sauce
and bacon for brunch, a nice sunny 11-mile run in the afternoon, and for dinner:
lemon pepper chicken, baked Brussels sprouts and onions, and baked potato
with butter and sour cream. Wendi and I played bowling and Frisbee golf
on the Wii after dinner.
