mastering the intricacies of a rewarding life

Norm,

May your days be peaceful in all the ways that bring you contentment and may they be beautiful in all the ways that bring you joy. Don't think of your 75th birthday as just another birthday but think of it as another year spent mastering the intricacies of a rewarding and demanding life! That sounds better than "There goes another year down the tube!" Then there is the Bible's take on your birthday: "Is not wisdom found among the aged?"

If Bev remembers correctly she was with Mary that first night you invited her over to your apartment in Denmark. From that time on she knew the two of you were meant for each other. Too bad she has no pictures.

Enjoy your 75 days ... May God bless you for all time. Give Mary a hug from us.

Ron and Bev Kiekhaefer
