Robb's birthday

Yesterday would have been my son's 50th birthday. I had planned a family celebration with "Over the Hill" things  and whatever we could think of.
Obviously that wasn't happening.  But his sisters, his father and I did decide to mark the occasion with a trip to Harrah's casino in North Kansas City...Robb loved to play ! We ate dinner in the buffet and went to play the slots. Robb would have sneered a little at that since he was a Black Jack and poker player!!  But he must have been keeping an eye on his sisters! At almost at once they won ! Since they were playing together... they cashed out and split the loot!  And a sad day took on a nice glow!!


Today is Halloween... for many many childhood years Robb celebrated today with a party and friends going "trick or treat" with him.
We are headed out to my daughter's... she's cooking dinner for us and my DH will be handing out candy. I wonder what Harper , the new rambunctious puppy, will think of all this.  Is that why we have been invited so that the DH can cope with her?? Better him than me!

Harper was great... didn't pay much attention to the doorbell ringing or children saying "trick or treat"!   The Oak grove kids started out downtown hitting all the stores then off to the neighborhoods. We helped give out 5 large bags of candy !! Lots and lots of "thank yous"!
