They say you’re only 74 once so make the most of it.
Pretty brought our granddaughter to visit for my birthday today!
Ella loves her Nanas
Baby Ella brought her mother Pretty Too (holding cake)
and her aunt twin sister Pretty Also (holding Ella)
Pretty Too and Pretty Also made the most beautiful birthday cake EVER
(per my request angel food cake with pink icing – wow!)
Have a piece!

JOY!
My good friend Dick Hubbard also surprised me by leaving his delicious fudge at my back door this morning but shhh…Curtis didn’t want him driving over to our house to deliver it…virtual hugs and love to Dick who never forgets to bring fudge over for special occasions. He’s the Best!
Many thanks to Caroline and Chloe for the fabulous cake and to Pretty for our family – it’s the light that pierces every darkness. I’m sending hope for better days to all of my friends in cyberspace this day – plus a virtual piece of cake and candy.
Stay safe, stay sane and stay tuned.
