Happy 57 th birthday to the Doctor!
Who would have thought that you'd be in Africa for your birthday? Oh maybe just about everyone that knows you and your lust for adventure.
It was a great day for the Doctor! He got two of the best presents he could think of.
Kris ( our oldest son) and mandolin player in the Bluegrass Band -- Fed Ex'd ( I'm sure at great expense) the recently released copy of Bluegrass Renaissance by the Red Mountain Bluegrass Band. For those of you that don't know, that was the band the doctor and his family played in before our departure to Africa.
Gavin our 4 year old grandson called -- Really Long Distant--to Grandpa and sang Happy Birthday to him over the phone. He also told him that he would get the shiniest coin out of his piggy bank and sent it to him for his birthday!
We sure love those Grand kids they just melt our hearts!

Happy birthday, Doc!
I have been listening to yuour old band. The new banjo picker is pretty good, but an arrogant and cranky old guy.
We all miss you tons, and Dawn sends her love to both of you. take care!
Wow, I just found your blog on the computer's history list at the cabin. I didn't know! How fun. Thanks for the shout out on Ellie's birth. I feel for those women!
Looks like you're having quite an adventure and I must say I'm jelous! I'm sure there are many hard times though. Glad all is well. You are missed around here.
Funny thing, I was just at Safeway here in Show Low and ran into your ?Sister-in-Law? The one who has a cabin up here. We chatted a bit. She's very nice.
I'll keep checking back. Hope you post again!
