It would have been nice to have a happy celebration for this big milestone, but we were so stressed from the renovation that we couldn't think of anything else.
However, on the morning of Art's birthday, we were having bananas with our cereal and decided to see who could pull out a longer nub from our fruit.
That was THE longest nub either of us has ever pulled out of our apple bananas.
Then our son, sent a video of our grandsons wishing their grandpa a Happy Birthday!
My brother stopped by with a giant watermelon that my sister-in-law had chosen. It was perfect!
A couple of hours later our daughter, Tiffany had a gorgeous fruit tart and watermelon Outshine bars delivered to us. A card was also sent with a sign made by our granddaughter.
In the afternoon, we had a 2.5 hour video call with our son in South Asia and our daughter in Chicago.
And then..... would you believe my cousin (who happens to have two mango trees) surprised us with these amazing mangos? Jon and Tif were very, very impressed. They LOVE mangoes too.
So in the end, Art had a very nice birthday indeed!
happy birthday art!!!! joyce

You both are so healthy, active and lively. I think you both are physically much younger than your age. To be able to do renovation at your age is amazing. God bless you all
