My birthday gift from Grandson & his mommy.
My
birthday was Thursday, October 13. Late Wednesday evening after grandson had gone
home, I formulated a plan for the night and for the day of my birthday. This
is what I thought… I'll make myself a nice plate of something good to eat, get a
nice cold drink of lemonade, and prop up on my bed and chill. Then, I planned
to rest and relax as much as possible on Thursday.
That did
not happen! Papa ~dellgirl~ came in about 7 PM. Around 8 o’clock he started to
cook. Everything was ready for us to devour about 9:45 PM. He had made his
famous fried catfish, his "to-die-for" mega green salad, guacamole
and chips, and hot buttered rice. What a prelude to my birthday!
Thursday
morning was routine. Grandson’s
mommy, my daughter Jordyn, answered my good morning text with the sweetest
happy birthday wish. It brought a big grin to my face. Next,
my baby son answered my good morning text with his usual, "hey ma".
He didn’t mention my birthday. So, I
figured he was up to something.
Oh well,
life goes on. I picked up grandson after
school. We stopped by Sonic for his favorite small green apple slush. Then we
headed home. When I turned the corner to pull into the driveway baby son’s
truck was parked in the driveway. Needless to say, I started grinning from ear
to ear, like a kid on Christmas morning. I knew
he was up to something, this is a surprise visit. Happy, happy, happy!

Birthday gift from baby son.
He
greeted me, laughing like he’d won the lottery. He held an individual size chocolate
cake that he had decorated himself. Party time!!! He lit the candles and we
sang happy birthday to me. Grandson stole the show with his antics, as usual.
He had a birthday present for me and proceeded to have a conniption fit unless
we stopped everything and let him present it to me.
Papa ~dellgirl~
came in just as grandson was explaining every component of his present to me.
We all had a good laugh as he demonstrated how I should eat the edible part of
his present. He showed me how I should open his birthday card and how to read
it. What a fun time!
