We celebrated Lee's 90th Birthday Party on April 7th.  He was born 4/11/1917.  All the family came except for 2 grandchildren, who sent their best wishes.  Everyone had a great time. Laurieann and Paul and their children came all the way from Delaware.  Christine, Guy and Jere came from Texas, and Bonnie came from Cayman Brac in the British West Indies! 

 

It was a grand reunion!  The family had not gathered like this for many years - and what a wonderful occasion to celebrate!

Christine and Guy brought eggs stuffed with confetti (a Mexican tradition) and we had a great time out front throwing them at each other.  We watched a beautiful presentation of Lee's adventures as a young man up in Michigan, serving in Europe during WWII, building his own successful insurance agency in Zephyrhills, raising children and traveling with his wife, Marjorie, and the many other wonderful things he's done and places he's visited.

 

Attendees of Lee's party were: his 4 kids: Bonnie, Marvin, Laurieann and Larry; 10 of his grandchildren Ginger, Ashley, Jon, Kathleen, Charles, William, Henry, Carey, Christine and Jere, and both of his great grandchildren, Solomon and Hope.  Spouses/ SO's are me (Susan), Daphne (Marvin's wife), Paul (Laurieann's husband), Mike (Ginger's husband) and Guy (Christine's boyfriend).  My Dad came and so did my sister Mary and her kids, Lauren and Kevin.  And don't forget the dogs... Julie and Cody had a great time!  We all had a great time!  (missing were Lee's grandkids Sarah and Mark who were tending to their respective churches for Easter.)  See Photos to the right! 

Seth, Paola and I skated the Disney Inline Marathon on April 1st!  We did the whole 26.2 miles in 2:40.  It was BIG FUN!  Definitely an annual event from here on out!  Pics to come...!
