Happy Birthday to a dear son,
I think of all the good memories we shared.

The beautiful picnic at Whit church,
With our relatives , there was a pond, very scenic.

The years growing up and going to school,
The university graduation and the many happy years with our grandparents.

Our parents big old house where we lived together with your mom and aunt Antje.
The picnics at Jack Darling park, skipping stones in the water.

The frisbee days  where we would drive from our grandparent's house ,
We'd get a bucket of Kentucky fried chicken and have a picnic.

Then we were off to the Dairy queen for an ice cream,
I used to drive in those days, I don't drive anymore.

We were off to Dietrich Bonhoeffer church where i taught Sunday school,
I had my young children with me in our Sunday school class.

That was quite a distance for us to travel,
With God's help we travelled safely.

The beautiful Poinsetta Erik brought his mother at Christmas,
I remember the hug was very nice.

Erik's exquisite wedding to Lisette,
I couldn't be there but he sent me pictures,.

That was a beautiful Hawaiin wedding on the beach,
He wore a white papal suit with a hawaiin lei and his wife wore a white bridal gown.

Many good memories, I am very thankful for my sons Kirk and Erik and my miracle wedding to my husband Walter of twenty years,
 We are still friends today.

The long drives to our A frame cottage at North Bay when the children were young,
I cooked  and Walter got the  fireplace going,to keep us warm.

Summers we would go swimming in the shallow water,
rowing in our rowboat.
 Then we would drive back to our beautiful house , the children loved games.

Monopoly was our favorite and of course chess.
We would spend hours with these games, we also liked gin rummy.

I remember the rubix cube years, the children were good at solving them,
Many good memories and I will always be thankful.
