100 years old . . .

Not a very good picture of John because it was copied from the black and white flyer the club put out for the party.
Best adult birthday party ever! Puppies and Dante's Pop's horse shoe pitching friend from North Kingston, RI is almost 100 years old and so on this beautiful day his horseshoe buddies for many years celebrated his birthday with him and Dottie. John has been pitching for more than 80 years and he pitches very well. This was the first summer league season he missed because he is slowing down and pitching with a hernia just doesn't work. Everyone brought food and most also played horseshoes. Puppies and Dante's Pop missed playing in the league this year because of his commitment to the Yankee Flyers but he will be back to play in Coventry, RI next year. I'm so glad we decided to stop in to see everyone last week where we found out about the party. We've been meeting these players and their wives/girlfriends for over 10 years so it'll be good to get back to Thursdays at the Jogues Club even though some of the faces have changed over the years.

On the way home we got to see a whole lot of antique trucks going back into the heart of Rhode Island from the Truck Show on the border with Connecticut at RICONN. That was a real plus and . . .we also saw a Cessna 170 taking off  and rising up over Route 14A. Just perfect.

Got the house pretty well cleaned up and ready for the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend Party and especially for the visit from our youngest. All set and ready to go! Making me smile a lot!
