HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLIE!!!!!!!

To my dearest and oldest friend, Happy Birthday!!!!! I am so thankful for the day that Jerry Grewe, (old family friend) who was dating your mom, saw my mom in Woolworths in Lompoc, Ca. Jerry and your mom didn't last. But our moms became the best of friends and so did we. I was in 6th grade and you were in 5th. Wow!!! That was in 1966......

Some friendships last a lifetime and I am so lucky to have yours.

So Happy Birthday my dear sweet friend.

Happy Birthday To Me

I had a wonderful birthday, celebrated for several days. My day on Saturday began with a trip to Phoenix to see my mom. She doesn't really remember me. But that's okay. I can still make her giggle.

Steve then took me to ASU to Gammage Theatre to see "A Chorus Line". What a thrilling musical. I enjoyed it so much. And what really impressed me is that Steve did not fall asleep. He enjoyed it too. The singing and dancing was just wonderful. I look forward to going back to see "Happy Days" and "Wicked".

After the musical we went to have dinner at Stuarts restaurant "The Elephant Bar" in Chandler. He didn't get to spend to much time since he was very busy. But it was still good to see him and have a good dinner.

After dinner we stopped to see my sister Lynne and Stan. Where we found out that Adrienne is going to have her second baby. We were so excited for them.

On Sunday Scott and Kim called to see if it was okay to bring a TWO MONTH OLD BABY on our family vacation in July. We are going to Oceanside. I said "What"? He said "Happy Birthday Mom". I am going to be a NANA again. What a wonderful weekend I had. So thanks to all and I love you.

Stu and Amanda

This past weekend Stuart and Amanda came up from Phoenix for a visit. Amanda is my sister's husband's brother's daughter by marriage. WOW.... Anyway they decided to get out of the heat for a visit. Stuart is usually so busy that he doesn't take the time to visit. So thank you Amanda. We went up to Flagstaff and had lunch at the Beaver Street Brewery. Stuart has been away from Flagsaff for 3 years and still managed to run into people he knew. He is one popular guy. They are so use to the heat that they were cold at 70 degrees. Steve and I loved the temp. When we left Flag we drove into Sedona. What a beautiful drive and day it was to spend with one of your kids.
