As I See It

Surprise made daughter’s birthday

What a wonderful few days I have had. Our son-in-law, Duston, arranged for my daughter, Beth, to have a birthday like no other.

Today is my daughter Beth's birthday.
Be careful on golf carts

We almost killed somebody last week.
There’s always some project to do
