Andy turned eight years old yesterday. What a delight he is! He had a joint party with Michelle on her birthday about a week ago, and each got to invite a few friends to the party which was held wh
ere the kids could play games and have cake. We were told it would be quite loud and stayed away. So Andy's birthday celebration was low key. He opened family presents while we were away helping other family members at Presbyterian Hospital. When we got back from the hospital visit, we changed clothes and went to a 
University of New Mexico afternoon football game where they played San Diego State University. Jerry had received tickets from a hotel his business uses to house out of town visitors, and it included a tailgating party in the east parking lot. He had eight tickets, and so we got to go to the party, too.
I had never been to a UNM football game, and HW2 had not been in years. The tailgating party included lots of barbecue and was very good. Other folks from Jerry's office were there, too. Andy took a friend Michael, and they had a fun time climbing a rock wall and a bouncing
contraption after they finished their barbecue.
About four p.m. we went into the stadium and sat down to enjoy the game. I had taught at both universities in the past but had no trouble deciding to cheer for UNM (Lobos). Imagine our delight when the Lobos quickly got on the score board and followed that with touchdown after touchdown. At halftime the score was Lobos - 49 to SDSU - 0!!!!
We left at half time because the rest of Andy's treat was to go to a Chinese restaurant for Orange Chicken. When we got home, we learned the final score was 70 to 7!! I guess I rooted for the better team. We finished the evening by playing Pitch. See, Anne, how your fa
me is spreading. Michelle won the second game and was delighted with herself. Andy and I were partners but we just had a good time.
What a joy to be able to be present and participate in a birthday celebration. I think that this is one birthday that Andy will remember for many years.

We need to find more card-playing friends! My uncle was just here and he wanted to play a game called Phase 10. We played it with regular cards. It was pretty fun.
