This one was taken around 1960 and you can see that my mom was the ONLY cool person in the picture.
Here we are 60 years later.
Nothing's changed.
She's still way cooler than us.
Happy Birthday Mom. Love you.

You Either Have It or You Don't
Today my sisters and I celebrated my mom's 97th birthday. Of course we took pictures.

It Takes a Couple of Generations to Raise a Child
My daughter and her husband are going to Europe for an anniversary trip next month.
Personally I think all marriages should be celebrated with "getaways". Europe is nice, of course, but I've also had some pretty good times at Home Depot when we've snuck out without the kids.
My son in law, Nate, thebossy pants social coordinator of our family, summoned the grandmothers over last night to make sure that the three kids will be adequately cared for in their absence.
We sat with our planners,laptops, calendars and phones to cover all the practices, play performances, piano lessons and church stuff they needed to go to. Looks like it's going to take both sets of grandparents to pull off what Kara and Nate do all the time.
Oh, and Nate enticed us to this strategic planning meeting with a delicious dinner. We would have come without it, but I DO love when people cook for me.
Thanks Nate!

Old is Good - Right?
Yesterday I had to visit our local social security office to enroll for medicare. Surprisingly I'll be 65 next month.
Okay, well it's surprising to me.
I get it - but really! Can I be old?
#1 I snap chat my kids instead of calling them because I'm aware that even though we pay their PHONE bill, they do not consider their phones something that you would actually make or receive calls from.
#2 I have posted to tic toc, however I have 0 followers so no one knows that I did.
#3 Every morning I get up at 5:30am and walk 3 miles but I start dreaming of my wonderful, soft, amazing, bed around 7:30pm.
#4 I own no mom jeans but I find that in my 60's I'm growing a mom body.
#5 I have kids at my house EVERY day and most of them call me Grandma Kate.
So yes. Yes I am old.
Oh well....at least I get to grow old with James. 🧡
