Happy 13th wedding anniversary to Daniel and Jennifer Adams. Daniel is one of my grandsons. Congratulations to my granddaughter and husband, Emily and Nick Doty, who celebrated their 12th anniversary.

I had a wonderful 93rd birthday. and it went on for days. First, my daughter, Deborah, from Florida surprised me with a cake and goodies on Thursday, Oct. 5. My granddaughter, Brooke, sent me another cake and flowers. Then, we celebrated again on Sunday, with more cake and ice cream. All of my children were there, except for Lisa, who lives in Florida and couldn’t make it. But she will be here in a few weeks, and we can do it all again. I enjoyed seeing my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I always love getting together with my family.
