Happy Birthday To Peg!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Peggy, happy birthday to you! As you probably guessed, today is Peg's birthday.

Well our day started out by driving to Chandler for a blood test for Jim. From there we drove to Mesa to look at potential RV parks in case Peg or I get a job in the Phoenix area. We drove past a few and went into a couple but none of them were really wonderful. We saw a bunch of Mexican guys waiting on several street corners, I am assuming for a job offer that day. You see these things in the movies but I was not sure that these "work round-ups" existed! Guess so!

Since I had set up a birthday party for Peg as a luncheon, we had to get back to Sunscape RV Park to pick up Stacey and Gail and then head down to the Olive Garden in Casa Grande for lunch. Bob and Marlene was to meet us there. Unfortunately, Hank and Lillie had other commitments that day, so they could not join us. We got there a little late (as usual) and as we were parking, Bob called and asked where we were. Guess we had them worried!

We had a good lunch and I had the wait staff get a cake together and, when they brought it, they sang a good luck song to Peggy that also mentioned that the luck would only last for one year so we would have to come back there for her next birthday to get another year of luck! Very cleaver!

Peg made a wish and blew out her one candle and we all had some cake (which was quite good). This was a nice way to celebrate her birthday since no one had to cook and we could all enjoy being waited on.

Of course Peg received several telephone calls from friends and family wishing her a happy birthday. I think she enjoyed her day (along with her gifts from me...a portable book light and a "shrug" which is a shoulder covering with sleeves!).
