Yesterday we went down the hill to Agat to get our drinking water. We have four five gallon bottles and a three gallon bottle that we use for drinking, iced tea, coffee, and such. After filling the bottles we bought ice cream cones and wandered over to the little drug store. There we met a friend, Cheryl, buying a birthday card. We talked for a while, mostly about her one year old granddaughter, and then went out to talk to her husband, Larry, who was asleep in the car. He told us they were on their way to Gordon's birthday party!

I was astonished. I had not heard of the party, I didn't know, it was a shock, I must have been invited... etc.

We ran home to shower. On the way I had a vague recollection of Gordon telling me of the event. It is a big one, the sixth decade. He shares a birthday party with his good friend Geddell who he has known for many years. There was a huge crowd there, lots of food, plenty of fun.
