Bill Reitemeyer is celebrating his 41 st birthday today (sweet young thing!). His wife, the Saint, asked for special wishes for him while he covers our behinds in Iraq (whoops -- Afghanistan). Why, I'd do just about anything for a soldier (especially a sweet young thing...what do you mean they are all younger than me?), so here you go, Bill.
We lit a candle in church (I know the pictures are bad, it's a cell phone) in front of St. Joseph. It will burn for seven days Bill, so if you have to do anything, like, dangerous, this week is your window.
And here's the toast. To you Bill. We're thinking of you and we thank you for your great service.
Happy Birthday! Just so you know, that's a Gin and Tonic in my hand and a Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold in Doug's (I know you're a beer man). And yes, he is wearing black socks and loafers with shorts. He dresses like an old man sometimes (What do you mean he is an old man? He's the young looking one!).

What a cute couple you two make! And how sweet that you lit a candle for dear Bill.
ReplyDeleteBarb, you are awesome. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBTW, he's in Afghanistan. Oh, and I am really glad you lit a candle because he's been traveling this past week and is still "on the road" and that makes me real nervous. He should be "home" to base camp before your candle goes out.
there must be something going around with those black ankle socks lately. my boys have been wearing them for a while and now my husband has just started. and no matter what i can't get used to the way he looks.
ReplyDeleteps. you ARE great! have one of those gin things for ME! :)
