Happy 95th Memaw

Yesterday was Memaw's 95th birthday. All the girls in the family were invited to go out to eat at Olive Garden (Memaw loves italian food). Memaw's mood varies from day to day and you never know what mood she is going to be in- so I prayed that she would have a really great day- and boy she was in such a good mood and was sharp- so she actually carried on good conversation.

Luke came and kept Ava entertained- she loves watching it play around!







After eating lunch we all went back to Memaw's house to eat cake and ice cream- this also gave Ava a chance to run around and it gave Leah the opportunity to bring Caden by to see Memaw on her birthday since she obviously couldn't bring him out to the restaurant.

Awww- Caden loves me :)

On your mark, get set, BLOW!!!!

Memaw's Cake was decorated to kinda show her journey through life. She was born in North Carolina where her Dad was very involved in the railroad. When she was 18 she moved down here to be married and her husband- my great-granddaddy- was very influential in the railroad in our small town. Eventually he would leave the railroad and they would start the store and that is where she still comes over to work- everyday.

There is a bedroom in Memaw's house the is the same exact way I remember it as a little girl- nothing has changed- except she has added a few more stuffed animals. Ava discovered this the other day when we were putting Memaw's fall decorations out. Ever since then, she knows what is on top of that bed. She loves to get up there and play with them.

Happy 95th Birthday Memaw!!!
