Growing up, the month of April was kind of like Christmas. My entire family’s (and grandma’s) birthdays are in April. And part of our celebrations was that the birthday girl (or Dad) got to choose where we went out to eat. By the time we got to mom’s birthday, she was tired of eating out. . .on the 7th, 10th, 19th, and finally the 27th.
Dad’s birthday is coming upon us soon- April 7th to be exact. Last year, we failed to throw big parties for his (and mom’s) big milestone- turning sixty. We did, however, have large celebrations for Jamee turning thirty and grandma turning ninety. So this is mom and dad’s
year, turning the big six-one. (Don’t tell them I told you how old they are- supposedly that’s a no no, revealing someone’s age. . .)
I didn’t get the ‘go ahead’ to throw a big bash . . . but we did come to an agreement of a birthday open house. I believe the word “low key” was adamantly used to explain such an event. . . So, please join us for a celebration of dad’s birthday. Surprise him with your visit at the open
house. He knows about the open house gathering, has an idea of who was invited, but has no idea who will RSVP.
Details for the Birthday Bash . . .

jen.
be like a duck 
Thanks. I plan to be there. Can come over early if there is something I can do to help.
Can’t wait to see you on Saturday!
Jen, It was great to hear from you. I let Jamee know that Grandma and I plan to come. Don’t know for sure what time we’ll arrive, but it will be a “day trip.” We’re looking forward to seeing everyone. Love to all, Wilma
