The Gift of Memories (New & Old)

Last weekend, someone got to commemorate his 60th birthday.  This commemoration was special in many ways - not the least in that it was all about family.

As depicted in the below picture, this commemoration created new memories, which included bringing JW's niece to Chuck E. Cheese's, where JW's brother, sister, sister-in-law, niece as well as mom & dad got to play at arcade games, to include shooting some hoops.  



This excursion also brought back some old memories as depicted in this post from several years ago.  Specifically, that memory dealt with the last time that JW spent time with the entirety of his immediate family when, on a day-long excursion, we spent some time shooting hoops at the now shuttered ESPN Zone in Washington, DC.  

The fondness of that memory is now complemented by an equally joyous memory which includes JW's niece, who was very intently experiencing the uniqueness of an hour at Chuck E. Cheese driving her race car in the above picture. 

Memories - the essence of a life lived well.
