Ken never dreamt that he would be 81 so he is delighted. To celebrate, we ate dinner at Paul's restaurant in Liverpool. When we married, Ken had a life expectancy of 42. Now here he is at 81. Of course, he never dreamt that he would have a type of Parkinson's disease. We three dined by ourselves in our own room so it was quiet so easy to converse. Ken was pleased with our good dinner all by ourselves and Alice Anne was delighted to join in the celebration.
Ken likes heat but today was anything but warm. A.A. commented that today was a winter day in Galveston. The rain started last evening and continued all day. And the wind blew so white caps could be seen at sea. Between the wind and rain and 60 degrees, it felt like winter even here. It was a great, blustery day. On the way home from dinner, we drove to see the Western Head lighthouse to see the waves and the rocks. Indeed, the waves were crashing in on the rocks but what was most unexpected was that we see 20 Gannets wheeling around and diving for their food. This is only the second time we have seen them close to shore. We can often see them well out to see but only once before did we see them in front of our house. The sight was marvelous. Turning 81 and seeing the Gannets is certainly pretty special.
