In other news... we celebrated Grandma Ruby's birthday as planned on Saturday. And Carter was kind enough to provide the entertainment for the afternoon. He was in such a good mood, silly, happy, laughing, just a joy. Not that he isn't always a joy, because of course, he is! The funniest part is how much he enjoys it when people laugh at him. He's a born entertainer, no doubt. There were 12 of us in attendance; Grandma of course, Eldon, Diana, Candace, Tuff, Clayton and Kyler, Erin, Brent and Carter, and Greg and myself. We all met at Green Acres early, so when Diana brought Grandma in, she was very surprised and very happy! The food was delicious as usual, and we were able to enjoy a nice relaxing lunch. I think Grandma looks darn good for 95 years old! Don't take it from me -- see for yourself!
And since it's been so long since I posted any pictures of Carter, here's a few of him too!

ReplyDeleteOK PEOPLE!!!! If I can post as my alter-ego, you should be able to... let me hear it!
ReplyDeletecheckin' it out :) Andrea
ReplyDeleteLove you. Love the blog. blah, blah, blah.
ReplyDeleteNow if you can just talk your daughter into getting hers back up!! Thanks for the update! Amanda
ReplyDeleteI'm just tickled pink that you are posting again. Like I said on FB, Grandma Ruby makes 95 look very good. I think Greg's mom looked so much like her it's uncanny. I hope she's as sweet as she looks. I know exactly what you mean about Carter being the entertainment. In Allan's family, when his nieces little boy, Colby, came along, we wondered what we ever did before for entertainment. Now his nephew has a little boy, Brody, and between those two, there is never a dull moment. I enjoyed seeing all these new pics. I will keep watching your blog for updates. Love you and miss you, Barbie!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought about switching over to Wordpress? You can transport your entire blog AND comments (I know, right?)!
