Today is my baby brothers 61st birthday. He, my SIL & their grand kids are at a waterpark hotel [View all]

I've been getting photos this afternoon, his face looks soft, relaxed and happy. His grandkids in my unbiased opinion, are cutie pies.
I am very glad he planned something special for himself today & this weekend.

All 4 of Moms' kids have had our first birthday without her. Moms' birthday is in May, I have no freaking idea how zi am going to deal with that.

My mom used to send us birthday money, in checks, one dollar for each year.

I stopped cashing her birthday checks maybe a decade ago.."Ma, that is a lot of money, you need it more then I do."
Mom, undeterred, sent me my age in one dollar bills the next year.
Stubborn stubborn woman. 💖
