Today, this afternoon rather, we’ll celebrate my mother’s 50th birthday. Her actual birthday was on Thursday but this was the best time to celebrate for her.

So today we’ll celebrate her 50th at the church she attends, among her friends and family. I hope I remember to bring my camera .

My nieces and nephews will be there, cousin, sisters and brothers in law, and of course, my Grandmother. I treasure family gatherings more and more lately, even though my relationships with some of my family has been rocky, it’s still important to appreciate them, and be glad that we’re still here to do so.

Today is a day to be thankful, appreciative of life. Knowing that no matter how low our economy sinks, we still have each other.

I think it’ll be fun.

Yesterday we spent a few hours at my sister in law’s for our nephew’s birthday. The kids all had a lot of fun, and J held the pinata, being sure to keep our 11 year old from beating it to smitherines on the first try. He was one of the biggest kids there. This weekend has been full of family, yesterday J’s side of the family and today, my side of the family.

Great way to close out February and start March.

Hope you’ve all had an equally wonderful weekends. Tell me about it!
