The Party!!

It wouldn't be a party without Bella and ... (drum roll)
Pamela Irene, grandmother of the year!!

Elijah and Alyssa Belle helping the birthday girl with her cards.
Alyssa said, "You are slow at opening cards!!"

Elijah lost a tooth!!

Happy, happy birthday - I wonder what she wished for!!

Johnnie Belle surrounded by those who love her most!

Amazing at 88 -
Growing old gracefully and still making the most of everyday!

My Rememberer

My forgetter's getting better but my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny but, to me, that is no joke
For when I'm "here" I'm wondering i
f I really should be "there"
And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer!
Often times I walk into a room,
Say "what am I here for?"
I wrack my brain, but all in vain - zero, is my score.
At times I put something away where it is safe, but, Gee
The person it is safest from is, generally, me!
When shopping I may see someone, Say "Hi" and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, "Who was that?"
Yes, my forgetter's getting better while my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy and that isn't any joke.
