Rex's Birthday

Rex celebrated his birthday in Mesa, Arizona this year. On May 7, 2009 Victor Rex Jackson became 97 years old. We had a chicken dinner with blueberry pie & homemade strawberry ice cream for dessert. All of those are Dad's favorites. We skipped the cake with 97 candles. The fire department wouldn't approve it.

We had a fun evening celebrating Dad's birthday. He had 2 children, 7 grandchildren, 4 greatgrandchildren and friends there to celebrate with him.

We enjoyed his three week stay with us here in Mesa. He went with us to two choral concerts and a dance concert to see his grandkids perform. He went to church with us, to the grocery store on occasion - where he loves to drive the electric cart, and even to the movies. Of course he does like to nap alot, but that's ok. So here's to 97 years DAD! We hope you make it to 100! ! !
