Happy Birthday to You and You and You

Yesterday was a good day - - -

no, yesterday was a GREAT day!

I headed to Otisville, (my hometown)

to visit with my family...

the TEACHOUTS!
Sadly, most of times we come together
at this point in our lives seem to be to mourn.
There was no mourning yesterday.
There was CELEBRATING!

There was reminiscing...
sure, there was a bit of sadness,
(we have lost too many loved ones not to have some sadness)
but maybe because of our lost loved ones
we were more able to just enjoy the moment --
enjoy each other.
We celebrated the birthday of  Darlene,
the wife of my cousin Carl,
who left us way too soon.....

It WAS a great day!
I am "borrowing" some of my cousin Shelly's pictures...
(You can't be dancing and taking pics at the same time)

SO much fun!
I have to thank my cousin Darla...
too many times I have  been to celebrations
and watched everyone else dance and have fun...

Darla just danced and danced and danced.
When I said "I need to rest"
she said, "soon you will be resting forever, 
COME ON, Let's DANCE!"
Thank you cousin..I will remember that!

I left this party to go to my son's house.
A party to celebrate my granddaughter Morgan's 13th birthday.
WHAT???
Our Morgan is a teenager????

My beautiful 13 year old girl!!!
Because there was just toooooo many birthday celebrations this weekend...
I missed my grandson Landon's 5th birthday celebration..

so I gave him his card on Sunday...

He seemed OK with that... :-)

Happy 5th Birthday Landon!
