Happy Birthday and Congratulations Mason

(Friday June 1, 2012)

oday's a very special double celebration of Mason's 14th birthday, and his eighth grade graduation. Wow! It's that time already? That once little guy is growing up faster than we can keep track of. Probably taller than me too. Congratulations on completing the first lap of your education...We all wish you the best of everything as you head up life's trail to bigger and better accomplishments.

Although it's pretty nice today....brrrrrr.

Great Grandmother Eula Absher, is a remarkable and very creative 98 year old woman, who was still  driving and bowling on a league until recently. In 2009 the Union (in a bowling notation) described her life as being "A Bowl of Birthdays." Not many years ago I couldn't help but smile when she said she'd go back to work if Walmart would have her. Recently Eula finished crocheting a beautiful Afghan for a great grand daughter. She'd made one for all of them. This evening Eula told us that when she was fourteen she and a girlfriend wanted to go watch a baseball game, but neither could drive to get there. Her dad replied, "Come on, I'll show you how to drive." Before long she and her friend were on their way....It just goes to show how much things have changed.

Smile Eula and Sue...You're on candid camera.

The moon and the sun are still whoopin' up in the sky, but it's time to call it a day. Thank you all for being such dear people. Bless your heart Mason. One year older and wiser. We love you and wish you all the best life has to offer.
