Birthday Girl

Our very own Old Nanny reached a special milestone recently and we got to go to the party! To see her clicking around in her high heels, you'd never know she's 80! She's the youngest, coolest octogenarian I know! I hope I have half as much get up and go as she does. Who am I kidding she's got more at her age than I do at my own now!

It was a nice party and an impressive turnout. She's a popular lady, not surprisingly! The buffet was a hit with the kids and they got to play pool and air hockey too so lots of fun for all! They were desperate to clean up the leftover food so we went home with 5 plates of goodies (woohoo, no cooking supper that night!)

Thanks for including us in your special day Old Nanny!

Runner In Training

Murray does a few races each year, mostly 10K's now. Honey & her sisters have participated in the kids' race that they have just before the 10K starts. It was 100m and for up to age 5. Last year they still went in it but we told them they couldn't do that one again. Honey decided she'd try the 1K this year, which is for ages 6-15. Murray took her out to get proper sneakers and she's been doing a few practice runs. She can now run the full distance! Unfortunately tonight we had Swedish Meatballs for supper and she had to take a break on the way back as she was too full!

These are her first lace up sneakers (I've been cheating all this time with Velcro & stretchy openings!) and she's been trying to figure out how to tie them. Tonight she got one of them done herself!
