We took my brother Tim to the airport this morning. He had been here since Tuesday. He originally came to Texas with his wife Linda last Friday and were picked up by Linda's brother who lives in East Texas. Tim and his brother-in-law John share the same birthday and even the same year of their birthdays. I understand there has been an on going little thing between them on who was born first because many years ago Tim's mother-in-law insisted that Tim blow the candles out because he was born first. Tim discovered not long ago that actually John was the oldest.
Well, hopefully they can turn this around in the many more years to come as they celebrate.
Linda had to return home Tuesday to go to work.
We had our own little dinner party for Tim at Joy's house on Thursday. Tim is with us against all odds and we are so thankful. He has been through four open heart surgeries and cancer treatment for Colon Cancer. He is in remission and doing well. We spent the week touring Ft. Worth, the Stock Yards and yesterday we visited the Amon Carter Art Museum.

What a cute story about who was born first. It's stories like this that make family get-togethers lively.
