My brother, Jim Vandiver of Broken Arrow, came on Friday morning and wanted to know if I wanted to go to Bentonville with him. I thought I might as well. We went by and got my other brother, Vernon Vandiver, and they took me out to eat for my birthday. We went to the Dixie Cafe. They had talked to Clifton and they took me there and also to Clifton and Judy’s. Judy had a cake so I guess they had this all planned but I didn’t know it. It was great to see my granddaughter Nichole and her son Tyler. I had agood birthday. Makes getting older not so bad.
