Supprise! What a party

Well our kids did one over on us for sure. Saturday afternoon we were planing on being over to our youngest daughters house for her sons kinder-garden graduation party. Wrong!! We had to be there at 3:30 and our oldest is staying with us as she got a text from the youngest that something was wrong and we had to get over there asap. I thought oh hell what is wrong now. As you know with kids. So after we hurled things into the Saturn we were off only to go back to get the camera as we drove down our drive. We were told to park in here front yard and as we drove up I looked and what, no cars in the front yard but I noticed all were behind the barn. Still no clue! I said what are we slighted and can not park in back with everyone else. Na Dad it is filled up.

As Jeannie , Leslie and I walked up to the garage then all of a sudden it started to open up and wholly shit, about 50 of our friends and family were all in there, SUPPRISE!! Here I had a inclination that something was going on for a retirement party for Jeannie.


But I was wrong again. As we looked around there stood everyone with a huge smile on their faces and laughing. Here we both thought it was for our grandson's kindergarten graduation party as they even had a blow up castle that was suppose to be for kids, but after some wine and liqour, heck the adults were in it


Some that we there we have not see for years and some that were wondering why we were not up at the boat, but they were in the garage. It was a very tearful and a happy time to see everyone as they know we have a dream that we want to fill.
It is kind of a bucket list as some will say. Things to do and place to see now that we are both retired. As the time draws closer to leave we have realized that we should have done things different in planing but we will make it.
There has been many letters written and questions still asked that we are learning about and will continue to learn. That's what life is. A learning lesson. Just as we were told about the U.S Customs Office and how messed up it was as you seem to get 2 different answers for one question you ask. I had to order a decal to get back into the US from a foreign country and I had called the number on the DTOPS web site and had asked if we could get them over the internet. I was told no, well as we were told, by other friends how messed up the customs were. They are right. But we have one on the way :)
