Well another year has come and gone for my husband. It also has come and gone for us, in that one less year we get to be together on this earth. But I have to celebrate the day of birth of my wonderful husband. He is so much fun to be married to and be around. Mark is normally a quite man, but when you spend some time with him you soon find out that he is funny, smart and kind. He rarely will start a conversation, but once he starts talking he is most engaging and you find at the end of it, that you have had an intelligent conversation with a man whom you are glad you took the time to talk with. 
We invited a few people over for some chili and Beatles Rock Band. Not everyone that we invited could come, but a few were able to come. We had home made beef chili and some chicken chili with cornbread or crackers or tortilla chips or even noodles. And you could top it with cheese, onions, jalapenos or sour cream and of course hot sauce or red peppers if you wanted it hotter. For dessert Shellie brought a cheese cake and I made cookies with ice cream and hot apple cider. After we all had as much as we wanted to eat, we played Beatles Rock Band. That was fun and interesting too. Bailey, my grand-daughter sang a song with me on, while Nick (her father, my son) was on drums and Alex (my youngest son) was on guitar. Aft
er that, Nick sang, Shellie on the drums(first time) and Tony on the guitar (oh by the way he is color blind, which makes it even more of a challenge), but they did great! Grant, Tony and Shellie's son is a natural on the drums! He grabbed the sticks clicked them 3 times in the air, then started drumming, just so you know, he is only 2 1/2.

The laughter, conversation and warmth of friends and family can not be beat nor bought anywhere. To have friends like the Shouses and our oldest son and his family to come over and share their time to help celebrate Mark's birthday.... WOW! Our home was so full last night and we are grateful for the fullness.
