TURNING 90!!!!


Brad's Great Grandma Mish is turning 90 next week so we had a party with all of her posterity. It was a great time and you could tell she had a great time. All the family that lives around here came to the park and had a potluck dinner and cake. Then we make a book for everyone to put notes to her. She knew we were getting together but didn't know that there would be a book. She was so excited to get the book and couldn't wait to sit down and read it. Several times she would open it and try to read it but someone would start talking to her, so she would put it down, but right when they left she picked it up again. Brad has been so lucky to know 7 of his great grandparents. And now Kate has had the opprotunity to know a great, great grandma and to know 6 great grandparents. She has so many grandparents when we tell her that we are going to grandma and grandpa's house we have to be specific because you can tell she doesn't know which one we are talking about. What a blessing.

Grandma Mish and my Grandma Verdell's birthdays are 2 days apart. So my grandma is turning 90 this year too and we are having a party for her also. How amazing it would be to live that long and to see so many changes in the world. Both of these ladies have seen a lot in their lifetime. What an honor it is to know them.
