Tour de Creek Day Five

Roy Lillo passing on the Lillo 60th jug to Gary Lillo

Tour de Creek Day Five

We said goodbye
to Todd today,
he is a great nephew,
a wonderful guy.

Chan, Andy, John and Kevin,
left in the next plane,
They would all love to do,
this float trip again.

Dave and I played horseshoes,
against Jim and Roy,
We each won a game,
What a wonderful day.

The gals flew in,
On a Beaver airplane,
They said the trip was fine,
they could do it again!

Gary and Gail prepared,
a great birthday feast,
It was fit for a King,
To say the least!

Filet mignon and crab legs,
adorned our plates,
some wine and then potatoes,
that were twice baked.

A magnum of wine,
was enjoyed by all,
several toasts to the
birthday boy were told.

Roy passed the Lillo 60th jug,
to brother, Gary
for a little while it
got --kinda teary!

This tradition lives on,
in the Lillo family,
This celebration was the best,
I've been privileged to see.

May God bless you, Gary,
in your 60th year,
May God grant that one day,
We may return again, here.

Looks like you all had a blast! I would love to get back to Alaska again sometime. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I started a blog myself and posted some of my poetry. Check it out if you'd like...A little different style...most of my poetry is free form and lyrical.
