My 70 th birthday party yesterday with family was blast! (my 3rd celebration) Then relocating to camp awesome today.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
        After all the party time yesterday and visiting. We got home last night just before 10 pm and soon called it a night. So this posting is about all the family time we had yesterday.
        Arrived at Daughter #1's house by 2 pm and did a few things to get ready for the afternoon party to celebrate (once again my 70th birthday with MY family). WHY? because I can and what better excuse to get together with the kids and grands?
        They had the place decorated just for me that I did not expect. But what wow. Heck I cannot believe that I am really 70 years old. Don;'t feel like it and that's a good thing. So glad that I can live to enjoy it! And have my loving family all here.
70 is everywhere 
I even have a pin to tell me and everyone else
   They have the back yard all set up  hoping the weather will hold.
       A bit later the rest of the family arrived.
daughter #2 and Granddaughter #3
         Daughter #1 has a wonderful working kitchen and always the gathering place. Some food prep and snacks prepared to nibble on.
nibbling and chatting
off the dinning room a nice porch
my son and grandson # 3. they are so close
# 3 is Dave the blogger
veggies dips , snacks all good stuff
        Then 2 granddaughters # 1 and 2 were clowning around outside and wanted me to take some pictures of them.  So they posed doing what young girls do and I took so many.
of course these poses as well
       Then while the weather was good I wanted to take pictures of each of their families that we can print and display inside our coach. The last we have are 10 years old.
my Son. GD #2 and his spouse
#2 wanted a picture of just me and her
Daughter #1 and her spouse, 3 grands and
of course Fergie in the mix as well
Daughter #2 her spouse and the 4 grands
Fergie photo bombed us here too
      Then of course a whole family photo all 18 of us . I do love this picture , Including my cousin Marie and Frank on the right side

       The rain has stopped and the girls outside on the trampoline enjoying fun times and great weather.
     The boys outside playing basketball because they can.
     And a few playing ping pong in the basement with their cousins.
competition going on here
       That was a very busy fun day we enjoyed yesterday with family. This morning relaxed for a while , chatted with my cousins, pulled out of their driveway and soon hit the road by 10 am. heading to Plattsville 90 minutes away. Where we will be unwinding and chill out for a few days. service on our coach tomorrow, doctors appointments.visiting a bit more and mowing some lawn herein the quiet country side, no city traffic here. Noticed that the lawn was mowed recently, (thanks Jamie) but I will get it done again this week before we depart again.
      All set up here by 1 pm and could relax in the warm shade 75F here and enjoy some relaxing time enjoying our e-readers again.
this is the wonderful view we enjoy here
      Soon time to whip up supper and we wanted to grill on our Weber Q, this 4 lb chicken I picked up the other day on  sale, (we do love our chicken) Leftovers for sure for lunches and some soup in the near future as well.
not long done to pefection
the Weber Q is amazing
BBQ'D chicken and a salad = perfect
        We still outside in the  shade at 7:30, finish this posting and still 64F (17C) . will read for a while then head on inside for the night. Taking the coach to Pettigrew's Garage in the morning for 8 am to get things taken care of.
        Thanks for dropping by and hope y'all had a wonderful warm spring day as well.

  1. WOW Ya'll certainly know how to party! A few years ago when I zoomed past 70 I found out from the U.S. Government that I am officially now ELDERLY not just old. The pictures were well appreciated over here in Alabama.

  11. Suzie and you have a lovely family. However, I think your genes are stronger as at least from my point of view daughter and son #1 as well as a few grandkids bear a great resemblence to you. Only daughter #2 looks a little like Suzie.

    Your 70th birthday has been an all around hit and I wish you many more.

    1. Thank you Ms. B a very nice family we enjoy good times together
      The only resemblance that daughter #2 has with Suzie being her step mother, from an early age.

    2. I had no idea Suzie was a step-mother as I am a new reader but at least I was right about the rest of the family looking a lot like you :)
