I knew it was coming! It is hard to ignore a BIG birthday and John had prepared me for the fact that we would be CELEBRATING in Greenville this year but I had no idea what the plans were. When I walked into the Fellowship Hall at St. Giles thinking that I was taking care of Huck and Finch for a bit for Adam and Meg I had NO IDEA what was waiting for me! The room was filled with church friends, neighborhood friends, camping friends, friends from long ago and lots of family. (some that I had just seen the previous weekend for Thanksgiving) And we even went to Raleigh for Thanksgiving as a part of the plan so that the Raleigh crowd could come to Greenville the next weekend for this big bash! This party had been in the works since early summer, gathering letters from so many to put in my book, collecting video from friends that live far way, and numerous phone calls from Jenna to John because of "car questions!" wink, wink!!
I am so incredibly blessed and grateful for family and and so many friends over the span of my 70 years! The video was incredible and brought friends who could not attend in person to join in the day! As Jenna said, " It was a good day!" How did I get so lucky but I am indeed one LUCKY Nana!
Thanks so much to all who came and especially John for celebrating my life with such love!!
Love to all...... Krista, Malcolm, Elissa, Celia, Lily, Jenna, Jonn, Jack and Sam!!
