We attended a big extended family party to celebrate what would have been Grammy's 100thbirthday! She made it to 93 which is still pretty amazing!Grammy was so Christ-like in the way she approached life and theway she loved and lifted others!

Date night found us at Pei Wei-with dear friends-eating on the outside patio!That has got to be one of my favorite ways to spend a Friday Night--we talked until they kicked us out--we were not done-so we went to Coney's for some custard!We ate on the patio again--the only thing that would have made it better would have been if I could have heard the waves of the ocean!
