Celebration! Yeah! Come-on!
Oh!
Yeah! Baby! We had one elegant celebration on February 11, 2017 for Beth!
Renting
a patio at the local bar-b-que establishment for the “special” occasion, we
surprised her with a huge party under the covered venue. With all guests
assembled, Z. Tyler, Lexi and Graig brought Lady Catherine to the eatery for
lunch. Z. told her it was so nice out, 72 degrees in
the middle of winter, that they should
eat on the patio to which Beth quickly acquiesced. Voile!
As
they came through the door to the patio: Happy Birthday! Her expression is
priceless!
We
really kept it quiet and a total secret. And, what a party! Fun! Fun! Fun! Celebration!
Beth
was elated and everyone had a fantastic time with good food, drinks and friends.
What
a tremendous blessing this fine family has been to us. Thank you!
Ah! Cookie Jar “Happy Birthday! Surprise
Celebration”! Sweet Memories!

Day 76
1999 Trip to the Fatherland---
Germany-Austria-Switzerland
Well!
Ole Carl finally transgressed the boundaries of his comfort zone---Europe!...Wow!
Youngest
daughter, Rachel Rebecca, at age 21 loaded up a back pack larger than herself
and set out for---Europe! Holy Moses! She paraded around home for a couple of
months with that monstrosity on her slight back; it and the contents weighed
more than she did. I often told her that if she fell over with it on, she would
never regain her feet. But, she persevered and survived.
While
on that hiatus, Becky managed to meet a German citizen through a mutual female
acquaintance; he is now our son-in-law and they blessed us with Miss Lauren and
Miss Anna.
Dandelions
grow wild in ole Germany, plenty long, too; Graig dislikes the yellow “flowers”
especially, so Becky picked him a full bouquet of the plentiful weeds. Ahh!
Choo! Gesundheit!
Our
trip turned out to be not only a celebration of Alex and Becky’s wedding day,
but an extended vacation visiting several countries and getting in touch with
our German roots, even adding France to our travel repertoire. The countries
are much like our beloved Maeystown area; I was impressed and loved the
education travel offers.
We
even took a river cruise on the Rhine; a fantastic, enjoyable adventure
delight.
It’s
good to expand one’s horizons; teaches lessons and perspectives about one’s
self.
Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Foreign” Memories!
