To You Martin Luther King

In honor of your birthday,

I Thank You!

Grandma would have been 80 years old

I miss my grandma. I think about and talk to her picture practically everyday. Today, she would have turn 80 years old.

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!

Our birthday's are both in the month of August. When she passed, I was given her birthstone ring...I've worn it ever since. I periodically look at it and remind myself how it looked on her hand. I find myself rubbing it sometimes...I realized this the other day at work.

I wanted to cry when my son starting singing Happy Birthday to Grandma, while looking to the sky.

We both miss her.

R.I.P Grandmother.
With love Always!

My Birthday follow-up

Thankful to become a year older.

I went to see the Funky Diva's for my birthday...EN VOUGE

En Vouge was featured at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA, It was nice seeing them. They put on a good show. Dawn didn't appear, however Rhona Bennett took her place and she was good. I wish the "Funky Divas" would go back in the studio, because clearly they still have it and mostly definitely from the crowd they still have a fan base.

I received a few bday wishes from friends, I haven't heard from in awhile [nice to know someone remembered my "special day"], family, lovely flowers from my son [he picked them out...grandma purchased them], money from family, a evening with En Vogue, perfume and a Gramin GPS system for my car!

I put the last birthday card I received from my grandmother up...still hard to believe she's gone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

I use to be so excited about my birthday. My son is more excited than I am. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful to be here on earth to share life with my son and family, but...

okay moving on

I usually let him take me out to dinner and give him the money so he can pay [he gets a kick out of that], but my parents and my sister took us out over the weekend during Restuarant Week [Ruth Chris], so I'm not sure if that's something we'll do. Maybe I'll let him take me to a movie...LOL, I don't want to see no daggone kids movie though. I don't know when I've seen an adult movie last...in the theater. Um, I guess it was "Why Did I Get Married"

I had a gift and card in my mailbox from a neighbor...that was nice and brought a smile to my face...someone cares and remembered my special day.

I'll have to provide an update to let you know how "my" day turned out.

The Birthday Celebration

Little people make me smile...

from the looks of the pictures and all the smiles I saw he/they had a good time. My son said, he had a nice bday, but that it went so fast.

These are pictures of my son and his two best friends.

Here are some more pictures of the day...

These kids were serious about their game. They were talkin' trash..."Look at that STRIKKKE!", "Let me pick up my spare" OMG, they were too funny.

This looks like a STRIKE to me!

Happy Birthday to my lil man!










She was just waiting her turn

Okay...Blogger is driving me crazy in posting these pictures.
I will edit the layout later.

Until next time...See Ya!

He's Turning 8 !!!

I can't believe my baby will be eight years old this week!!!

Time really does go by fast! I love my stinka.

I've been preparing for his bday celebration for this weekend. He couldn't make up his mind if he wanted to have a bowling or skating party. Since most of his friends did not know how to skate, I suggested we do bowling this time. He really is a good kid (I pray that he remains as such), just busy and VERY talkative.

Not much going on other than it's HOT in the DMV (DC/MD/VA for those who don't know).

I still haven't gotten any sewing in and I need short sleeve tops like crazy. I'm going to allot some time to at least make one top...one top. It's like potatoe chips, you can't just eat one...you just can't make one...make some!

Until the next time...
