Day One Hundred Ninety Nine 2010

Happy 9th Birthday, Shelby!



Grand daughter Shelby celebrated her 9th birthday today. This is the second time she's had a birthday while on vacation in Destin, Florida (the first time she turned 6). She's been looking forward to this day for a whole year. She had fun playing in the Gulf waters and in the sand, shopping, swimming in the pool, eating a delicious birthday spaghetti dinner (with great-granddad's awesome spaghetti sauce recipe), blowing out nine candles on her yummy cake, opening cool presents, then a night swim in the pool and walking on the beach. She should sleep well tonight! Happy Birthday, Shelby!! You're the best grand daughter a granny ever had! I love you!!

Day One Hundred Ninety Seven 2010


This beautiful butterfly perished in a container of bubble soap on the back porch. It's usually flies that land in the soap we blow bubbles with. That's bad enough. But the butterfly made me sad. I took its picture because it was so pretty. Sorry little butterfly.
