        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

        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.

       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.
