Son Jake is preparing for the celebration of his 37th birthday in April with a Facebook invite to a gathering he has titled "37 Is A Prime Number". He's getting lots of interesting responses.
But before his big day, we have one of our own. March 29th is our wedding anniversary, and 43 is also a prime number. And our 43rd year was prime indeed!
Yes, we've changed a little since March 29, 1969, but we still like to hang out together.
Our kids are getting older too, but we still love being together, especially in the summer at Rockaway Beach.
This year the summer visit turned into a permanent stay, as Jill and the kids moved to Seattle and the grand kids started school here in our school district.
We still love to explore and took several great trips.
While this gathering was for a sad reason, to bid farewell to Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother Violet, we were all there together.
After Christmas, son-in-law Corey got a job here and has now reunited with his family. Jake survived a ruptured kidney and it's removal. We're all in great health.
When Jake moved in with a friend, Josy came to live with us. It's nice to have a kitty again.
And we're still having lots of fun.
Linda, you and Tom are an amazing couple and have created an amazing family. I look forward to every one of your posts to see what the Reeder family is up to now.
