Friday was my mother in law's birthday, 79 years young.
Trust me there are days she could drive circles around me
young is a good word to describe her. The daycare kids
surprised her with cupcakes, and naturally singing Happy
Birthday, which made her day.
Beckie came home Friday night and when she realized it was
grandma's birthday, (yes my children forget dates like this,
in this they are so much like their father) she said I should take
her out while I'm home. "why don't you take her out after the
Extravaganza?" I said. I'm sure she would love to go to Happy
Chef with you or something. "Maybe I'll see if she wants to go
to the bar" was my daughter's reply. Which caused me to
just stare at her and blink.....of course I'm thinking good grief I
have never seen this women in the 25 years I've known her
inside a bar, ever!....so I said, sure why not, it would be fun for
her. Wondering what she would say, or if she *gasp* would agree to go.
She did agree to go. So Saturday night my daughter, my mother in law,
my father, my sister and her husband all went to the VFW. I found
myself wondering at the picture this was, when I am home
rocking a particularly overtired 1 year old to sleep that the older
people and the young adult in my life have more of a social
life than I do.
