Fashionistas...........

We had houseguests over the weekend, my FIL and his lady friend Nancy...notice her outfit........its the same one she always wears, for years.........and years........and years........she layers it, a couple of tee shirts underneath, a scarf, baseball cap, and to finish the ensemble she adds a heavy sweater, yes, even in 100 degree weather. She is 95.....and she really does not know where she is right now........but shes happy! Im glad someone is...............they came down from Vegas for Uncle Joes surprise birthday party, he on the other hand is delightful, lol, a crusty old retired merchant marine, a loner, never married, in his own happy little world, eating beans out of the can and playing the horses......he was stunned by this show of affection, the whole family showed up, and he cried, and he said it was a dream............even loners love attention I guess. He had his first Inn and Out burger, he said it was good, he is a man of a few words. We teased him about keeping him down here in So Cal for a couple of weeks, and he got very very nervous....he said he had to get home to pay his phone bill........so we put him on a bus and off he went, back to his studio apartment, near downtown Vegas, which I myself have never ventured inside, my hubby has, and he advised me to wait in the car, lol. I have never known anyone to be so happy with so little, but he has no stress or worries except which horse to bet next..........and with a pocketful of birthday loot, hes a happy happy man. He is the oldest one left in the family, and although he is a loner, we keep an eye on him.......a very odd, but very sweet man, Happy Birthday Uncle Joe!
