Today is the birthday of Ron.
Realized that Ron's drivers license would expire today while he's gone. Went over & picked up Todd & Joni - took her to Brownies, then went back & got Deb after her nap. Picked Joni up from Brownies and came home. Tried to call Ron about 5:30 to wish him a happy birthday. He wasn't in so we left the call to be tried an hour later. We had pizza & chocolate sundaes by candlelight to celebrate Daddy's birthday. About 6:30 the phone rang - thought it was our call to Ron. It was a collect call from Ron. He had called before the operator tried our call again. We were glad to talk to him. He was having a good time & I think we all felt better after we talked to him.
