Wayne Hansen 90th birthday
|
Wayne Hansen celebrated his 90th
birthday one day early on Sunday, Dec. 17.
There was a family party at the Bistro in Edgewood Vista where Wayne and
Carol Jean reside. Nieces, nephews, cousins, kids and grandkids from the area
and as far away as Fertile, Minnesota helped Wayne celebrate. Wayne was born on
the family farm in Blue Hill Township and lived on that farm until he and Carol
Jean moved to Edgewood Vista a few years ago. It was a busy weekend for Wayne
& Carol Jean as they had an early family Christmas on Saturday. Most of
their kids, grandkids and great-grandkids were able to be a part of that as
well.
Kenny, Staci and Johnny came out to
spend Christmas Eve with me. We were all going to go to church but Kenny’s feet
hurt so bad that he didn’t think he could even walk into the church. Johnny has
a terrible cold and coughs all the time and me with my head injury, we just
didn’t feel we could go.
I spent Christmas day with Rick, Shawna
and family and that was fun. Levi is such a little character.
Speaking of head injuries, the heel of
my snowboot caught on the top step of our 4 steps outside. I was carrying a big
box full of gifts at the time. So down I went. Hit the back of my head on the
cement, blood all over me, cement and the gifts. Got gifts picked up and went
into the house to see where all the blood was coming from. I had quite a gash
on the back of my head which required 3 staples at the emergency room. I am
just thankful that I didn't break any bones.

How
is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea
to put wheels on luggage?
