Birthday Boy!! Sid's 54th





Sid turned 54 today and we had a fun night last night with friends. We went to dinner with John and Julie Doolittle, Jon and Debbie Burgess and Jay and Gwen Sessions. We went to Outback because Sid wanted Steak!! We then saw the movie "Bucket List" and afterwards went to the Doolittles for some funny presents that Jay aquired at the dollar store (Hence, the weird hat your father is wearing!) We had such a great time and the movie was just great. I would give it two thumbs up for sure. Bring the kleenex though, or maybe I am just a crying fool!!

We have been busy this week with trying to pick new things for the dental office remodel and hope we don't blow it with our latest choices. We are going for laminate wood flooring in the operatories and carpet in the halls and Sid's office, and Jackies office only. The lab and sterilization rooms will have laminate tile and the counters will be corian solid surface with intigrated sinks. We seem to be drawn to the black brown and ivory colors so even though I wanted blues again Sid seems to like the other choices better with the wood floors. I am going to take some samples into the office this week and see what the girls say. We will probably still do granite tops in Sids office and Jackies office. Wood laminate will be behind the reception desk and file room. With all the new flooring done in commercial laminate it should be a breeze to keep clean. The granite just wouldn't work in the operatories since it is a pourous counter. The corian won't penetrate anything. I will try and take a picture of some of our choices and show you what we are thinking.

It is still hard to believe that Sid is actually 54. Next year he will officially qualify for the senior discount!! That means I am not far behind. We are thinking of buying a pair of Kayaks and start rowing around here. The average age of the kayaker is 65! I guess we have a few years to catch up. We got the theater seats at Costco the other day but have not put them upstairs yet. They are black leather with motorized recliners and cup holders. We have three seats right now and will see if we can fit in another grouping of 3. It will be fun to get that room done.

Kristin, I think you win for the funniest card so far. You really found the perfect one!!

Happy Birthday Dad! Megan today was telling us that she wanted to go to your house for your birthday party, and then come home in a week. We really do miss you guys. Sounds like you guys are pimping the house and the office. Mom you really know your design, I am sure that the office will look GREAT, so does Josh & Jacob get a say in the colors?

Happy Birthday Dad!! Mom - Is that the same cake pan you would use for our cakes when we were little? Hmmm...I think I have a gift idea for you when it is your birthday!

Linda Kelly said...

Yes, it is the same pan!! It was a wedding gift in 75. Can't believe how long it has lasted but it works great. Just a funky color (harvest gold) Matches my dinner plates!!
