In January we went to Gaya and Lorraine's for our annual birthday celebration. Gaya turned 15 in Jan. As usual they made us a lovely lunch and it was fun to get caught up with their lives.
Papa Andy and Grandma Kay were in the area a week before Josie's birthday so they came over for dinner (with Aunt Jody too) and had a mini celebration.
Josie and I drove down to SB on a Thursday afternoon the week after her birthday and arrived in time to watch Karen's 2nd grade class perform a Winnie the Pooh play that evening. It was super cute and very impressive, the sets and all. Josie loves visiting Karen & Katie's school.
We were there to celebrate Luke's 50th birthday. There was a brunch party at the beach on Saturday. The morning started out sunny and then the clouds rolled in at 9am and it was a little chilly. At least it didn't rain! A bunch of their friends came and it was a fun morning.
Our Canadian friends, Glenda and Diane were visiting from Edmonton. Their mom was my mom's first Sunday school teacher in her little farm town in Alberta when she was a little girl. Her teacher went on to get married and their family spend 10 years in the Congo as medical missionaries. Then they moved to Chicago down the street from us. Their dad was my mom's doctor and delivered me. Glenda and Diane used to babysit Roger, Karen, & me. They all moved to Canada and my parents visit them in Edmonton and have been there for the film festival. Glenda and Diane finally came to SB for the film festival which happened to be this weekend. Fun to reunite after many years.
Josie brought her birthday scooter along.
