For those of you who have known Kirby for a long time - or, like Lee, all your life, you might find it hard to believe that these pictures of Kirby are real and that he actually was having a good time. Since he doesn't have his boat anymore, he must put his energy and passion into something else. Would you believe that Kirby was out mowing the lawn on his birthday in 40 degree weather?? Granted it was sunny, calm and dry out so it really was pretty nice but - really - can you believe your eyes!! Well, of course you have to remember that on the East Coast football does not begin until 1:00 PM so he had all this time to kill, right? But, by 1 he was over to the Man Cave with the troublemakers, Phil, Ray and Robert drinking home brewed Ale and building a great fire for later while watching the games. The Shumbies joined us and we all stayed near the firepit as we celebrated Kirby's birthday. Phil grilled burgers and dogs in the 38 degree cold after dark! But, it really wasn't too bad. Maybe it was the good company - and of course the hot coals. We even did some science projects with melted glass - it shatters by the way - after it cools. But the Corona label lasted a long time.
We spent a lot of time in the front yard today again trimming the big oak tree. Jake loves it when we are all outside as he used to be an outdoor dog and is adjusting to living indoors. We put him on a long tether and he just hangs and waits for neighbors to come pet him.
I think Kirby had a good birthday weekend. Thanks everyone for your good wishes. He loved it!
Whhooowee ~ does that man know how to have a good time! Mowing the lawn and watching football on his b-day. [insert sarcasm here] Wheee doggies.
