Birthday Party

Celebration for my mother's 90th birthday on August 12 was great. We had 21 people for lunch at the assisted living home where she lives. Two of my sons and 2 grandchildren drove 17 hours each way to be here. One son and grandson drove 10 hours each way and one son and 2 grandchildren spent a week with us. It was a very busy week but we had fun. My mother's sister who is 93 was here and I am glad they got to see each other again. I have not done any knitting for at least a week. No time.

Cave Spring

Ice Cream at Cave Spring. The children enjoyed the cave, wading in the creek, and seeing the fish, ducks and a snake. Yesterday we went to the Chattanooga Aquarium but I forgot my camera.

The trifles are for this weekend when we have a lot of company. They are easy to make and very good. Thanks, Linda, for telling me about them.

Not much knitting going on.

Today is a great day. Judson is bringing his two children to visit for a week. I will take Jacob shopping for his school supplies. He is excited about starting kindergarten. Charley Grace is already crazy about shoes at two years old so I will take her to buy shoes. And I will take them to play in the creek at Cave Spring and to the Aquarium in Chattanooga. Then the rest of the family will start arriving on Friday for mother's 90th birthday celebration on Sunday. Even her 94 year old sister will be there. The White's tend to long lives obviously.
