Happy Birthday to Kathy...I can't believe she is 62 yrs already. She
doesn't act or look the age. I make her breakfast of 2 eggs over easy with
bacon & toast....then clean the dishes. Naturally she likes this kind of
service.
@ 11:15 we leave the house...stop at Wal-Mart for more paint & other
supplies. Then visit the FedEx Metroplex to see Bob & Mike. They will post
our house for sale flier on the crewmember bulletin board and keep us
up-dated on inquires.
Then to the free parking @ the Ted Stevens International Airport to attend
the ceremonial opening of the " C " Concourse...8 yrs of planning,
constructing & 240 million dollars. Alaska Airlines will occupy all 9
gates. It's a beautiful work of art...very futuristic. There are
restaurants, full Starbucks coffee shop, upper level observation deck, new
lounge, & a first for the State of Alaska, a 300 ft moving sidewalk. All
very impressive. We arrive early to guard our seats while waiting for
Melissa & Matthew. In no time at all, the place was crawing with people
everywhere. Several speeches later with ribbon cutting & news coverage,
the " C " concourse was opened for public viewing. We walked along the
concourse, ate complimentary hors d'oeuvres, drank complimentary Starbucks
smoothies & other drinks...it was quite fitting for a VIP's birthday like
Kathy. We also toured the new hi-tech baggage & x-ray handling machinery
installed in the basement level....also quite elaborate & functional.
Matthew by the way, was a perfect gentleman during all of this
celebration. His G Daddy & YO Mama were very proud of him. We say goodbye
for now to our daughter & grandson...and move on to the next adventure.
We call Katrina & rendezvous with her @ Moose's Tooth for Pizza & beer.
She suggests watching a movie tonight at our house...so we stop @ Carrs to
select not one, but two movies. " The Calendar Girls " movie was based on
a true story and fun to watch. Kathy stayed awake without any help from
the peanut gallery section. It was a good day for special treats to help
celebrate Kathy's Birthday. Lights out: 12:35 am.
