XANDER'S 10TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Xander McKnight Gonzales, one of our five (5) grandsons had his 10th birthday on March 21, 2019 and we had a birthday party celebration for him at the Pizza Inn, Rockingham, NC on March 23, 2019 after 11ish A.M., before the noon time rush hour!

Those attending were: Lisa, Lily and Xander Gonzales, Wink and Rachel Myers, Travis and Trevor Huneycutt, Sue Newton, Joyce aka my bride and Bill aka Mickey Porter, yours truly.

GOING BACK IN TIME

It seems like only yesterday, we were in Stamford, Texas visiting with the Gonzales family and celebrated Xander's 1st birthday with his Texas grand parents and relatives.  Time really goes by in a hurry and doesn't wait for no one.

LET THE PARTY BEGIN

Our waitress was Lillie and she quickly got our drink orders and most of us hit the hot bar.  I fixed my bride and myself a salad and then offered a prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ to bless the food to the nourishment of our bodies.  I later put a special order in for a Pepperoni pizza and a Monster on New York style crust.  There were plenty of pizza on the hot bar and I loaded a plate of pepperoni and cheese for my bride and myself.  Her favorite pizza is pepperoni and cheese and it has to be from the Pizza Inn.

I let Lisa take a few pixs with the ole antiquated Canon 30D 35mm DSLR camera and I even saw a pix or two of yours truly.  Normally, I am behind the camera and this camera is not prone to allow a Selfie like all the Obamaphones aka cell phones in usage today!   If you need a good grin, click on the Obamaphone link and look and listen to the woman who coined the original Obamaphone phrase.  

XANDER OPENING BIRTHDAY CARDS

Lily was sitting at the end of the table near myself and I was totally stoked watching her eat pizza from my plate and getting small cherry tomatoes from my bride's salad bowl, whereas she would pop the little tomato into her mouth getting the Ranch dressing off it and then slipping the cherry tomato back into the salad bowl since she doesn't like tomatoes.  Every time I took a pix, she would point to the camera wanting to see a preview of what I had just taken.

As is my usual MO aka Modus Operandi, I got a little side tracked talking about Lily and now back to Xander and the birthday card opening.  Xander did real well and I observed some of those dead Presidents on the folding money that had Jackson's photo on it.......grin if you must!

  

CAKE CUTTING TIME

After our birthday party lunch aka dinner to us older generation, the Pizza Inn staff brought out Xander's birthday cake singing a festive and lively version of Happy Birthday.

Xander's colorful birthday cake came with a spinning top too!

In closing, our waitress Lillie did a fantastic job keeping everything running along smoothly.  Speaking for myself, I had a great time and glad the invited guests were able to attend.

It would not be Bill aka Mickey Porter if I didn't add one of my favorite sayings to this page, "Two of the Greatest Ships that ever sailed, Friendship and Fellowship", of which they continued to sail today with a light March wind moving the sails in harmony with our Life!

It was a fantastic birthday party and I give God the praise, glory and honor through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior in all things and thankful for my family, friends and each and every day that He allows.
