John's Birthday

John turned 36 today! We made him a cherry cheesecake

and gave him the few camo shirts and hat he had picked

out for hunting. The kids all made coupons for things they

would do for him including breakfast in bed, vacuuming his

car, and doing extra jobs. He pretends to blow out his

candle with a farmers blow!

My Old Shoes

I was shopping at Kohl's with the girls and
they were trying on all the high-heel shoes
in the ladies dept. I remembered that
I had saved a couple pair of shoes from when
I was 12 or 13, so the next day I looked in the
garage and found these old shoes in a box that
I had saved for almost 30 years, just so one day my
girls could see my favorite shoes and get to enjoy
them too!

They fit Aubrey pretty well, and she ran around

the house in them all morning! These 3 inch heels

are the ones I tripped in walking down the steep

stairs of Redwood Jr. High, tore my nilons, and

had the most embarrassing day of my life (up

to that point in my life!) Oh the memories!
