My 50th Birthday Weekend



My birthday weekend started Friday morning when Jack took Frank and me to breakfast. The three brothers together. Jack is a big part of the Lemmo family and he will always be a brother and a uncle to the Lemmo family. After breakfast Chip had a baseball game and we went to see him play. I can watch Chip play ball every day. Friday night the rest of the family came in and we had pizza and listened to music.
Saturday morning Chip had another baseball game so we went to see him play. After we came home and took a nap, I guess that happens when you turn 50. After we went to the batting cages and Frank and I gave hitting pointers to Jacob, Sean, Freddy and Bryan. Jack was there taking pictures and JT and Jarom were playing games. After the cages we went home and I thought we were going to have a family birthday party for Frank and I and when we got there we were surprised to see our friends Don Clegg, Keith Romick, Brent Briggs and King Jonas Dave Miranda. It was a great night with family and friends. Frank and I are so lucky to have friends that we still keep in contact with after so many years. I consider these friends my brothers and love these guys. I would like to thank Senessa and Jack for getting our friends there. Senessa had some great pictures of Frank and I growing up all over the house. The food was great and the cake was the best. Sunday came and we took it easy and played a game and Deborah and I left Sunday night. Monday Deborah and I took the day off from work and we went to breakfast and took it easy the rest of the day. I’m 50 and I can look forward for the next 50 years. I’m thankful for my family and friends. This weekend was great!

Dreams


It’s October and I’m turning 50 on the 13th. Today I'm thinking about my life. How many of us grow up and have dreams of being a Ballerina, Doctor, Astronaut or an professional ball player. Many of our dreams do not turn out to be one of these professions. I wanted to be an professional baseball player and it didn’t turn out that way. I played enough to be well known in the Bay Area for playing ball. I’m I sad that my dream never came true? No. Do I like what I have done in my career? Mainly yes. Being an professional baseball player would have been great but would I have my family, probably not. Having dreams can be healthy because you can strive for your dreams and if it doesn’t happen other opportunities can come through our dreams. My dream at my age now is to live long enough to see my grand children grow up and hear about there dreams and see their dreams . May our dreams kept us happy.
