Things might be going my way again. I have three days of work starting tonight, and then we head down to Vista for the weekend. My grandparents are having a60th Anniversary party and celebrating their 80th birthdays. It's weird to me. They don't seem like they are 80. It should be a nice party. My mom and dad have been working like crazy to get their back yard all fixed up for the big day. My dad rebuilt the deck and everything. It looks beautiful back there. He secretly told me he is worried about it falling down if 50 people are standing on it. He has even calculated the approximate weight of 50 adults. He has put some serious thought into it. So, I think I will stay off the deck and keep Shane with me. That's two less people to worry about and if anything happens, we can be the first aid crew. I know CPR and am very familiar with caring for older people. I imagine there might be a lot of broken hips and stuff. Man, I see those everyday! If the deck goes, they will be so glad that I was invited, let alone was able to be there. Really, it would be best if the deck just stayed where it's supposed to be. My dad knows what he is doing. He is a good carpenter. I am not worried.
