Happy Birthday to my Hubby!

We woke up to the phone beeping this morning. At the Ruins yesterday we both turned our phones off to be courteous to the speaker, and forgot to turn them back on! When we were in Oxford and DH was working, one of our bankers had the same birthday and on March 6, he always opened the door of the bank and yelled in "Happy Birthday Sadie!" and she in turn would return the favor. Now she has been retired for some years and they still call back and forth and sure enough, she called real early this morning, being in a different time zone....she was first! They had a nice phone visit and then some of the kids have called. He had a tee time at a golf course today with 3 friends and one of these came over and shared some cake and ice cream at lunch time...(yes, even being sick I got up and made a birthday cake.) Traveling in the coach, we don't have room for a lot of stuff, and at this point we don't need much of anything else. He has started to read a lot since we've been on the road, so I bought him an LED Reading light and some books and a Gun Dog Magazine. We will go somewhere tonight for a bite of supper when he gets done golfing. An end to a nice day. They say the wind will start to blow tonight...It's still 72 degrees today and partly sunny. I have completed plans for Monday and Wednesday of next week. We will tour around Tucson and Tombstone. Purely fun days. I called around and found our Diamond brand of dog food in Casa Grande so will go in tomorrow and pick that up. Need to get the oil changed in the Suburban - we spotted a place to do that yesterday, and we'll do the weekly Wally World stuff. Today has been nice with some quiet time....I have been reading some....not leisure reading but the letter that Warren Buffett writes to his stockholders every year before his annual meeting in Omaha. He makes things not seem quite so depressing as far as the economy, and he has to have a clue, he didn't become that wealthy by being stupid...so maybe I gain a little insight. He tries to explain things in Common Folk language. Don't think we'll make that meeting....someday it would be fun! Through some of the RV grapevine, we have heard this week that things are seriously stressed at yet another RV Company...the parent company that includes our Holiday Rambler. Monoco Corp. has let many of their staff go. I think we will be visiting Monoco dealership in Las Vegas while we're there to see what's up. Just another thing to do to stay out of the casinos!
