Saturday, we had a late celebration of busylizzy's birthday. On the actual day, she was out of town, but what is one week when you have lived as long as she has?
Our daughter, Rachel, made an awesome Greek dinner, dairy free of course, and Keith BBQ'd the skewered chicken. The Angel Food cake with whipped topping and blackberry sauce was over the top!
And then it was time to open the cards and gifts, something at which Liam is an expert, just having had a birthday himself.
We all chipped in and got her a new laptop computer, and none too soon. Just that day her beloved Sony Vaio gasped its last breath. Fortunately, our techie, Andrew, was able to extract a confession out of the old computer, and it revealed all, to be recorded on the new laptop, which was then promptly put back in its original packaging before the birthday. So she never missed a beat and is already loving the speed and the Windows 8 operating system. In the above photo she is going over a card from her grandsons that offered up 60 things that they liked about their Nana. (She is 60) I was amazed at how well they know her as all 60 items were 'bang on'. She has invested a lot of time in their lives and it shows when they plainly reveal how well they known her. It warmed her heart for sure.
She is an absolutely wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother to her little family, who all love her very much. If she looks like the cat who swallowed the canary, it is the dark chocolate she stuffed in her mouth and that is her 'innocent' look.
