Went to my new granddaughter's 1st birthday party yesterday.  Her real birthday is Wednesday but it's much easier to get folks to come to a party on the weekend.  Besides, do you think she knew what the heck was going on?  There were a lot of children there (groan).  Luckily they could be sent outside to play, otherwise we adults wouldn't have been able to hear each other talk.  J's mom and sister were there along with his two nieces.  It was nice to see his mom again and meet his sister.  The birthday girl did pretty well present-wise.  Clothes were the main thing, which was good since she outgrows everything so quickly.  She may only be 1 but she's wearing 18 month already.  I'm thinking she'll be tall like her brother.
I'm off to meet some of the ladies from guild.  We're going to Franklin, NC for lunch and a couple of quilt shop shopping.  I don't need to spend the money but, what the hey.
Y'all have a dry day (it's been raining off and on for two days now) and remember:  life may be just a bowl of cherries but you have to watch out for the pits.
