Today has been a wonderful birthday!  Edie Grace and DeWayne have had lot’s of surprises for me.  First they helped me check off another item from my “things I must do before I die” list – vertical skydiving!  What a great birthday gift!  Talk about loads of fun – suit up and get into a wind tunnel and experience skydiving with a safety net.  I still encountered 120 mph winds and the feeling of flying – but I did not have to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.  I did this at Sky Ventures in Orlando.  As you can see from the pictures – this was much more physically challenging than I assumed.  It was a lot more fun than being slimed yesterday however!

Last night we ate at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville but it was much past 5 o’clock.  I thought that was my birthday dinner.  Little did I know that they had a special dinner planned for me in St. Augustine.  We ate dinner at the Conch House out in a private cabana up in the air overlooking the ocean at 5 O’Clock tonight.  They prepared me a special rum punch that reminded me of the Windjammer cruise in the British West Indies a few years ago.

What a great birthday.  I want to thank those of you who have called and emailed me today to with birthday wishes today.  I was very surprised when I logged on this morning and saw the blog entry from DeWayne and Edie Grace.
