Linda and I managed to suprise three members of her family this weekend. We have been working for a few months with Carla, Debbie, and Sharla to have a suprise party for Linda's Mother Reggie. It was her 80th birthday, and we managed to get all eight of her children as well as the spouses, and most of the grandchildren and most of the greatgrandchildren together for the suprise party. We also got Reggie's bowling team, some neighbors, and friends there without her finding out. It was a lot of work for the family that lived out of state. Scott and Martha, and Josh came from Pennsylvania. Kathy, David, Christopher and Michael came from Utah. The party was in Long Beach Ca. so almost everyone had to travel some distince to get there. Everyone got there on time, which is really something for forty eight people to do. The suprises started the night before. Linda's brother Jim was playing with the band he is with, in Perris. He knew Linda and I were going to see him play, and he knew we were bringing Scott and Marta, but we also brought Kathy, David, Michael, Christopher, Julia, Josh, Sharla, Mark, Suzane, Mellany, Emily and Carla. I think we were half the crowd that was there. The second one that was suprised was Linda's Dad. We set it up so he would be at the party just before Reggie got there. He knew Carla was going to be there, and Linda and I were going to be there, but not everyone from out so state. I am sure Reggie got the biggest suprise, and she really seem to have a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone in the family, the neighbors, and friends for helping pull this off.

Hey, you forgot Carla, Mark, Suzane, Mellany and mark too. So that means we were like 3/4 of the crowd. ;0
Sounds like you guys had a great time. I am sorry that I had to miss it. =(
You can tell it is never good to get old and try to write a blog at night after 10:00 p.m. I did forget to add half of the family that was at the suprise for Jim. I correct the blog and added photos because these are very important people in my life and I don't know how I missed them.
