Frank's 90th Birthday - August 2018

Clayton, Jackie, Frank and Christine
The original plan was to celebrate Frank's 90th birthday at Possum Kingdom.  Unfortunately, he had a brief hospital stint, so he was not quite up to a lake trip.  But, we still got to celebrate the event in Fort Worth.

Shawna was just home from a work trip to Manilla so was unable to make the weekend.  Keith flew in to Dallas from Minneapolis where he was working - Dick picked him up at the airport on the Thursday night.  He was able to work from Colleyville all day Friday.  The Friday night was dinner with Margaret, Owen, Josie, and Keith's parents at Fishtail.  Since dinner was early,we were also able to fit in Crazy Rich Asians at Colleyville Studio Movie Grill before going home - it was a great flick.

Keith woke up with Lily in the house - she had arrived by bus on Friday night but after Keith was fast asleep!  He was able to get a 1.5 hour workout in with Margaret at Lifetime Fitness - there was a spin bike so he could do a Peloton ride via the app.  Margaret dropped him back at home for a shower before heading out for the day's festivities.

The first stop was lunch at Joe T Garcias - the famous Mexican restaurant in Fort Worth.  There were about 25 people there - the entire Dodds clan (less Boone) was there, plus Christine, Jackie, Clayton, Frank, the Browns, and a handful of others from the retirement community.  Keith sat next to Clayton and caught up with him.  The next stop was over to Trinity Terrace for cake and champagne and a few toasts to Frank.  We wrapped up the evening at 7:30, headed home, and Keith went to bed.

Keith's flight was Sunday mi-day, so the whole family (again, less Boone) went to Mockingbird Diner for brunch before the flight home.
