Happy 85th...

Happy 85th birthday, Papa...

You are thought about and missed everyday.

I'll always be your "Punky Brewster"!

A Good Old Fashioned Tea Party!

Last weekend Mom and I took a trip to Findlay... it was a two-fold trip.

The second reason we went was to see some new puppies... more about that in a few days!

The first reason we went was for Mom's good friend's 50th birthday.

Mom and Gay have been friends since my parents started dating.  They've been through a LOT together the past 30+ years and are an inspiration as to how a true friendship lasts over time and distance no matter what.

When Mom had breast cancer Gay called and checked on her everyday.  She really is one of the best people out there and I was very glad to be included in her 50th Birthday TEA PARTY!!  Here are some pictures of the day...

We ate the rest before I remembered to take a picture!  It was all so tasty!

My Momma and Gay:

Happy birthday Gay!!

(Today's the big day!)

Happy Birthday Westin!

29 today... and always acts his age!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture... but... here I am doing my FAVORITE thing when making birthday cake...

EATING THE BATTER OFF THE SPATULA!!!

...and the beaters...

... and the bowl...

Ok, I just like cake batter.

Can you blame me?!

Just waiting for my Momma to get here now to spend the day with me since the menfolk (i.e., Dad and Westin) are both working!

We're going to frost my cake...

have lunch with Trish...

go to my school to show Mom my classroom...

measure some tables while we're there...

go check out a quilt shop...

maybe buy some material to make covers for the tables in my classroom...

and who knows what else?!

Can't wait for her to get here!!

Happy 27 to me!!!!
