We walked out to dinner last night into a slumber party of young girls and the birthday girl, her mom and grandmother. What a sweet memory that will be.
So, of course, Jim went to get the balloons and first made a hat for the birthday girl, then something for all the others and finished with Wile E Coyote, with a red balloon in his hand that says TNT!
This morning one of the girls stopped by with a hand-drawn card from every girl there with a drawing of their hat or dog or Wile E Coyote. I have to tell you it’s the sweetest card we’ve ever gotten and we’ll have to place it in a double-glass frame in Jim’s office. He’s wicked smart but has never had fans so far!
Thanks to Grandma, Mom, Dad, Girls. Your new friend, Dee

You’re welcome. And now we feel welcome to the neighborhood, too. Thanks for that, Grandma. So many new friends – we may have to do a MYOP (Make Your Own Pizza) party, when we settle in. Thanks, Dee
