Ignore the date on the website. Something is really crazy here!
On October 2, 2007, Granddaddy (AKA Charlie) celebrated his 86th birthday. While this was a momentous occasion, it was even more exciting because he celebrated it for the first time in Canada.
Actually his birthday celebration covered a much longer span than a birthday normally would. You see, it all began on Sunday evening when Matt called to say he was coming to Ridgetown to sleep since he was in southwestern Ontario taking notes of soybean development for Monsanto, his new employer. He had done exactly the same thing the week before, calling to tell us he was in the area and would like to spend the night and visit with all of us. What a nice treat it was to see him twice in seven days!
Tuesday, Granddaddy's actual birthday, was a normal day except that Arend and I took him out for dinner at Rossini's restaurant in Chatham. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and then returned to Ridgetown for cake and ice cream. Granddaddy always has room for dessert, even if he couldn't finish his main course. Hm-m-m, I guess that's were I got it!
While we were enjoying our dessert Charles and Rhonda called to wish him a happy birthday. Almost immediately after, Will called to do the same. To extend Granddaddy's birthday even more, John called on Wednesday with his good wishes.
All in all, it was a fun time.
