Momma’s Way And The Kids Who Love Her.
Granddaughter Jasmine announced the birthday party on Saturday by decorating her shirt. She is on her way to Washington D. C. on her school trip in a couple of weeks.
Daughter-in-law Anne sporting her new look after her ‘Locks for love’ donation. A fresh and vital presence!
Granddaughter Courtney and my son Les sit waiting with a patience born of dealing with old ladies and their ways!
Daughter-in-law Debra baked my cake and brought dinner up for us! I’m afraid she is going to spoil me! The grandson, Dakota, was playing old video game and I didn’t catch his picture.
Wes was demonstrating what Pan the piper( I guess that is what he played or was it a flute) would look like if he had used a row of birds and blew ---well let’s not go into that!!!
A small confession—Wes and Deb spirited me off before dinner to the Hotel in Otisville for a drink while Anne and Les stayed with Jay because he was having vision trouble again. I have lived near Otisville for over five years and never been in the hotel bar so it was kinda fun to relive what was a way of life roughly 45 or so years ago!. Two drinks there then to the Four Seasons for two more drinks. Then I was ready for my dinner and wondering if I could get out of the car. I was amazed at how different I am now and I tried to think when all this had changed!
But I was still able to blow out the candles without falling face first into the cake. Take notice of the spelling of Birthday on the cake it is a family joke. Over the years I have baked the kid’s birthday cakes and when I decorated them I always misspelled “brithday” . Now it seemed the kids were too polite to correct me or they thought that is how you spell it. Either way I have to laugh when they spell it Momma’s way for her cake!!!
The Trio!
Wow an early birthday celebration! On Friday the 18th I went to Pontiac to celebrate my 70th birthday with Marguerite and my daughter Cindy. Marguerite and I will both be 70 on the 22nd and I had promised that we would ‘do lunch’ as the high class ladies say!!!
Marguerite mentioned that we had known one another for 40 years. She had helped me raise Cindy as I worked full time. She looked over everyone while my first hubby was ill and at the time of his death she was there to help. So needless to say we go back a long time.
But this day was a happy day. Cindy said I only said the f-word five times and Marguerite only said her word three times so she was very proud of us!!
But you gotta look close at the trio--we may not be sauve and trim but we are comfortable with ourselves. Yes there may be room for improvement on the outside--but inside we know we are loved and that is what counts!!!
