My grandma, Mackie, turned 86 today! I hope I am enjoying life and looking this good at 86! She had a wonderful marriage, fantastic kids (one is my mom and the other is my god mother), and amazing grand-kids (if I say so myself!) Such a testament to her life and how she raised her daughters. She was the love of Popeye’s live (my granddad) and is the inspiration of our lives!
Love you Mackie!!!
I’m processing wedding photos tonight and ran across this picture of Robert and I. We took it before we headed home for the night and it turned out pretty well. I’m just surprised we don’t look more exhausted!
Robert turned 30 in May! I wanted to make it a special birthday, but he refused to have a party (even a surprise one was out of the question). After many months of planning I decided to have something for him to represent each year of his life, from 0 to 30. The big present was a trip to The Herbfarm a few weeks after his actual birthday.
The family all pitched in and it was a great success. Here are some of the highlights:
Robert became a big brother when he was one. So his “baby” brother sent a “first birthday” card.
Robert was four when his “baby” sister was born. She sent a gift card to Molly Moon’s for $19.87.
At 14 he started his first job. I couldn’t resist the red stapler!
Our friends, Char and Brian, hosted us for dinner.
And for 30 he got the Herbfarm cookbook to represent our upcoming trip to Herbfarm (which was fabulous by the way!)
Cheers,
K
