Happy 4th Shirley!

Fireworks, fun, festivities and Shirley.

I have always loved the Fourth. I wanted Little G to be born on the fourth. That wasn't the case though. 20 days later our little man made his entrance into the world. If he had come on the 4th, he would have gotten to share his birthday with a very special woman.

Shirley is 77 today and such a wonderful woman. She has the best heart of anyone I have ever met. She never has a bad word to say and loves us all. Shirley volunteers every Monday at Pioneer Girls. (Her bird name is Robin).

Shirley and Ritchie spend much of their time out and about. They lead a full life and are more active than we are. They watch all the little league games, some football games, go out to dinner with friends once a week, visit other states and keep up with all our family parties. Whew, just typing all that made me tired.

We're very lucky to have Shirley and she loves our little man to pieces.

Here's to Shirley! Happy Birthday and happy 4th!
