We ate at one of my favorites restaurants (Olive Garden and the Cheesecake Factory are my favorites).
I usually get Lasagna but for some reason this time I was really feeling the fettuccine.
Me with my posse! I love, love hanging with these ladies (and one young man..lol).
It doesn't take much for my family to have fun. Just being together seems to do the trick (especially when I have been feeling down or stressed out).
Even the baby sis traveled the two hours down to see me!
Don't we look good for 70, 50 and 40?
Me trying to hang with the young ones. If they had taken much longer with the pic somebody would have had to pick me up because leaning back I almost created a domino effect. LOL
My sister cousins!!! Thanks Pat for setting this all up. I said I didn't need some big and fancy party...I would be perfectly fine just hanging with my family!
I can't believe next week I will be fifty years old! But I'm determined to embrace it and enjoy life (even when my body does not want to cooperate). I also plan to do a lot of first over the next couple of years. Nothing crazy like jumping out of a plane or anything but simple stuff (like watching the daffodil parade in your hometown for the first time). As I get older I really understand the importance of family, your roots and even appreciating where you grew up (as a teenage I couldn't wait to graduate high school to get out of dodge)! Home holds a whole new meaning for me now. It truly is wherever your heart/family is!
