Funny how certain things sap your energy more then other things.  And I learned a long time ago that all the 'drainers' aren't physical activities.  Emotions seem to be very near the top of the list and when you add certain physical stuff, even subtle stuff with emotional stuff one can become quite exhausted with seemingly innocents stuff.  My 'birthday' didn't require me to do much but show up and spend time with my family, especially my grand kids. The picture taking didn't take much more then an hour, but that and spending several more  hours with family, here I am before 8 and I am ready to go to bed.  I give credit to our kids for thinking of a really good birthday present.  I didn't think of it and I was surprised yesterday when Sheila told me what was going to happen.  And I did enjoy the process over there at Murray Park out in the weather in pleasant conditions.  There were some of the grand kids that were not there for various reasons.  But most were and I am really looking forward to getting the pictures that were taken today.  I also really enjoyed our dinner at Winger's and even if the B Y U game wasn't on the t v it would have been fine.  I was able to watch most of it, there and then here at home.  I knew it would be re-broadcast tonight, but I am glad that I saw most of it already, because I am way too tired to stay up watch it.  I am now ready to go to bed and get recharged for my early Sunday morning schedule.  I won't turn 65 until Wednesday, but my family has already given me my present.
