90

September 8, 1928

The day my dad was born.

June 14, 2003

The day my dad passed away.

Age 74.

September 8, 2018

Today, my dad would have been 90 years old.

He was 30 years old when I was born.

That means next month, I will be

30 years less than 90!

FAM AT THE FARM

On Thursday, June 14, we went to
Farm Country, aka "The Farm" at Thanksgiving Point.

This was the last place that I hadn't been tom that I can

get in with my"grandma pass" at Thanksgiving Point.

Grandma Laurel, Kim & kiddos, Ashley's kiddos,
(Ashley was in Philadelphia with Jon), and

Heidi & kiddos went with me.

It was pretty fun! We were there when it opened.
But, now we know that we need to go straight to
the pony ride, to avoid the long lines!
