Mak and Jack's Grandpa turned 85 last week (before the fires,) and because Grandma was in the hospital (she is doing much better) and EM was sick, I got Makena's nanny to spend the night and I took Jack to San Bernardino on an overnight, to do something special for him to celebrate the occasion. Jack and I decided to take Grandpa out for Japanese food for dinner. The evening quickly became a success when we assured him that he wouldn't have to eat anything raw. The following morning we took him out for a breakfast buffet and then followed that up with two courses of mini-golf.
Grandpa showed up dressed for the sport and ready to play. I suspect he didn't hear the "mini" part in mini-golf. We thought he looked rather chic and stylish and not a day over 49. I looked haggard and disheveled and not a day under 45 -- ergo, no pictures of me.
After figuring out that the game was less risky as long as we set the ball down for him and picked it up at the end of a round, he played thirty-two holes in all!
We had a great day.Happy birthday, Ray. We love you.
