Mary’s Birthday Gathering

Hugs! Hugs and laughter! Hugs, laughter, cake and ice cream! By this age, these are the things that matter for my birthday celebration. Luckily, Kathy and family came for a visit Saturday and Sunday so we had all the most important elements…hugs, laughter, cake and ice cream! I was even blessed with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and cards that made me laugh. One work of warning to folks with visiting teenage grandchildren…don’t leave your phone unattended…you might be blessed with some unusual photos of silly faces!

Decided to skip 77 candles…probably drip all over the cake!

We played cards using snack sticks as our money.

My unattended phone picked up some sassy behavior…this was just one of many!

On Sunday, we went to Walmart to check out PSU t-shirts. We will be attending a Lady Lions basketball game in December. We have to be ready to look like fans!

We also cruised around Rural King…a store located where Sears used to be at the Nittany Mall. Of course, the baby chicks and ducks were adorable. If you needed a flannel shirt or boots, this was the place to go! Also a great place to pick up canning supplies.

They even had a cabinet with jewelry!

Of course, my favorite were these earrings (I wonder if they’d be considered concealed carry??)

So, another birthday is in the books! Whew! Time to clean up the leftovers and laundry!
