The BIG 66th! We began our day with a breakfast casserole, fresh slices of Maine apples and some apple cider for breakfast. Ford opened his gifts which ranged from iTunes gift card, socks and a jalapeno plant (all from AA), assorted beers, Metro Diner gift card, frying pan, black polo shirt from me. I then took some casserole to Nancy and Frank (she had surgery last week) and her wedding photos Ford took. A great morning catching up on my monthly WPOA duties too!
AA loves Elmo - he's holding her homemade card for her Daddy:
We then drove to Leaa's home, celebrated some more with a BBQ luncheon. Had a good visit with BBQ provided by Leaa and her famous macaroni and cheese, plus lots of sides from Marsha and Cathy (we brought Cowboy Beans and the sheet cake). And Ford received some nice bottles as gifts too (thank you Marsha and Cathy).
Homemade "Nana Joy's" sheet cake:
I asked them to pose and they did a good job!
Then to the Conch House to hear Jesse play in the afternoon {Spartina Band}. Dylan sang with her Daddy, then right after we left, she played drums for one song, she loves the stage! All the girls had free roam, and Dylan and AA hooked up a few times:
Singer Dylan with Daddy:
After we left, since it was the closing hours on Ford's birthday, we stopped on the way home at the Ancient City Brewery for a beer. We were shocked to see the Jaguar football game still on as we were listening to the radio when the game was almost over and Jaguars had surely lost! Surprise! Overtime. And they won. We enjoyed watching those few minutes as we don't seem to get to watch Sunday football anymore. A fun way to finish the day!
We enjoyed hearing our lovely granddaughter Dylan singing with her Daddy, Jesse. Very sweet. Ford had a wonderful birthday today, daughter Leaa made it all possible, we love you dear daughter. I think that is the most we have celebrated his birthday in four years!!
