Another Year Older


When asked how his during Grandpa Lindman will often reply with, " Still here, Still repenting." or I'm still here looking at the green side of the grass."

On September 10th family and friends gathered the celebrated his 91st Birthday and have a good potluck barque dinner. Most all the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren attended dropped in or call with birthday wishes. The birthday wishes delighted and thrilled Grandpa.

For this wonderful occasion Diane picked up one of those famous "Glaus" birthday cakes with whipped cream frosting, from Glaus French pastry cake from the bakery  grandma Lindman loved to get. Glaus is still located on 3100 South Highland Drive. It they stilled frost it with whipped cream frosting, a Lindman favorite. And along with the cake Diane and made some yummy birthday cupcakes for the kids to have.


The candles were lite and all join in a birthday song including grandpa with his great tenor voice,  singing " happy birthday to me." blowing out the candles he smiled with delight.










Some had to leave for other commitments but some of the smaller kids after dinner even with a bit of fall coolness in the enjoyed playing soccer outside in the back yard with Russell Olsen.

Grandpa often says, "I'm thankful to the Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ, and  for each day I wake up breathing.  I pray for all  my chil-rens, grandchil-rens, and great grandchil-rens. And I pray that follow Jesus Christ and his plan."
