Grandpa's 80th Birthday.....

As many of you know GRANDPA CLEGG is turning 80 on the 4th of April.  To help him celebrate this wonderful event, we want to bring everyone together in an activity.  Thus

Saturday June 20th 9 AM to 6 PM

  • 9 AM     Pancake Breakfast / Clean up
  • 11 AM   Caravan Truck trip up Aunt Basin / Hike
  • 1 PM     Light Lunch and Return Trip
  • 3 PM     Prep Dinner
  • 4 PM     Dinner of Roast Beef and Potatoes / Dessert (Ice Cream and Macaroons)
  • 5 PM     Singing with guitars / Clean up
This is just a general outline but pretty much what Dad wanted to do for his 80th Birthday Celebration.  As is gets closer, we will be more specific about the details.  In case of bad weather we have two back up dates ,Saturday, July 4th and ,Saturday, August 8th.

     Paula is compiling a special song book specific for this occasion. It will consist of
  1. Some of Dad's favorite hymns
  2. Family favorite songs
  3. Old songs we used to sing as children
 Please if you have the music to any of these songs (not the hymns) will you please xerox them on a 8 1/2  by 11 page and mail it to Paula. Where ever possible please send guitar versions. She is mass producing the book so we  can all have a copy or copies for our own use, hopefully by April or May. 

    Guitar players of the family,
we specifically want you to come prepared to play along at the celebration, so take some time to practice and look through the songs. 
    Everyone else, please practice singing the songs so we can "WOW" our Grandpa at his 80th Birthday Celebration.
