I now return you to Monday’s blog. 

Today is my husband 69^th birthday.  We’re having a grand time visiting with family, watching NCAA Women’s College Basketball, and awaiting tomorrow’s eclipse. For Les’s birthday, I bought him a new pair of running shoes and his sister bought him bottle of Hungry Jack Microwaveable Syrup. Why you may ask? Les likes his syrup hot; she obviously noticed the misshapen syrup bottles in our pantry.

Something I’m excited about during this trip is a brainstorming session I had with my nephew. I called him a couple of weeks ago for help regarding a scene I’ve been trying to write. My nephew, a former marine, is seriously mechanically inclined. He works graveyards, and we were missing each other’s calls. Today he showed me how a character could siphon gas. So much better than a phone call. I only hope he returned the vacuum pump to my brother-in-law’s car. 😊

Long walks, too much food, it’s what makes birthdays and family reunions worthwhile.  Overall, I would say my husband’s birthday has been an overwhelming success. With the following exception . . . Les was walking in the neighborhood, happy as anyone can be turning 69, when he bounced into the house and proclaimed, “Guess what, it’s Zeke’s birthday today, too!” Until my sister-in-law announced, “Zeke is a dog.”

It’s subjective, right?
