JUNE BIRTHDAY PARTY

Let me begin this post by saying that everyone arrived safely!!  Some were late but that's ok.  We celebrated today for ME, Tiffany and Abby (my brother's daughter)!   I got up early and cooked the usual Sunday lunch and included a "Mae Mae" cake and homemade ice cream.  We were in the "throws" of opening our birthday presents when all of a sudden someone said, "Ball practice!"  Tiffany swallowed a piece of birthday cake (we didn't even get to light the candles!) and out the door she went with Ben and Shelby for practice.  Jennifer followed with Emily. The rest of us stayed and some read the paper, napped or watched a movie.  About 5:15 PM Ryan showed up and asked, "Where is that watermelon you bought, Nana?"  He went out to the ice chest and retrieved it.  We cut it and I think the smell of it woke Ed up!  We gathered around the counter and devoured the COLD, SWEET, RED WATERMELON.

I couldn't help but think of my sweet little friend Madge.  I wish she'd been with us.  She loves watermelon.  When I see that man on the road again, I'm going to get her one.  It couldn't be better than this one!
