Happy 80th Birthday Grammy

(Saturday May 5, 2012)

ell, today it's my celebration. If I'd known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself. It even sounds unbelievable, but when I look in the mirror it's believable...so I don't spend much time there. Anyway, we love getting together with this lovable, fun, growing family whenever, or whatever the occasion. Vicky took lots of photos for posterity that we hope you'll enjoy.

Sweet Margie and the birthday gal below.

Can't help but laugh at this funny card from Timmy and Areana...with Nancy Sinatra singing "These Boots Were Made For Walking." And she's shooting too!

Areana...it reminds me of you! I've seen you do some fancy shootin' while you were wearing your boots and hat! Anyway, I love it!

I think everyone got a boot out of this one....

Papa's hiding behind the birthday orchids.

Margie and Tim keep Grammy and Papa wearing new threads.

You'll never believe what happened next.....

 How about a toast to Areana and her future mom?

Why doesn't this pour... You mean I have to remove the cork first?

Some outside fun with the doggies...

Reggie's always ready to fetch, but Maggie thinks it might be a waste of time.

Super steak Chef Tim announces that it's time to come and get it!

Wow! A feast worthy of a king...and queen. I don't think I can do it alone. Come and get it you guys!

When it comes to goodies, Maggie's not about to share even a sniff.

From the left: Vicky, Areana, Timmy, Mason, Grammy, Papa Mel, Brent, Kirk, Cheryl, Sue, Tim, Margie and Deanna.

Our dear Guy and Vicky...

Time for a happy birthday song and blow out.

One more of the bunch and then we'll watch a movie before heading for the hills. It's been a fun birthday party. Thank you all for your cards, gifts and love. You're the most wonderful gifts I could ever wish for. Papa and I love you very much.

 

And now we'll go back to the beginning of this Celebration

(Thursday May 3rd at the Hewards)

A delicious pizza dinner at Cheryls.

Those of us sharing the fun, food, movie and cake are...left to right: Bradley, Anne, Papa Mel, Grammy, Sue, Katie...and Cheryl with the camera.

Yep! and there's Cheryl!

Happy birthday to me...Guess I'm number one today...hehehe.

Thank everybody for the wonderful birthday party. It's very special and appreciated. We love you all for being you.
