Happy Birthday Mom! Way to go San...

I am so very fortunate! Happy Birthday MOM! I love you!! I have had my mom all my life - for 54 years! I would say they were glorious years... but I know I was a handful - as a teenager as well as a grown adult - but I have to say that she helped me become the woman I am, and I am so very grateful. I love her - and want nothing more than for her to be happy!! We had a birthday dinner - where all five of her children attended and many grandchildren! We went to Chef's Restaurant in Buffalo - in a private room! and now she has an iPad - thanks to all my siblings!!

The rest of the weekend was spent with mom... we went to lunch with my brother Joe, dinner with my brother Larry, a bar-b-que with another birthday cake from mom's groupies, went to the movies and my niece and nephew's baseball games! We also found a new chocolate shop and indulged!

In between all the festivities - my sister Sandy completed her 1st half marathon! YAY - Sandy! I am extremely proud of her - it was a very hot day and a very difficult course - but she made it to the start and the finish line!! ...

In between the festivities we ate lots of pizza and had a pizza party and played UNO with Jim's grandchildren {which Jim and Jon Jon were both declared winners}!

And now ... month seven starts in Memphis. I am the lead on the Pittsburgh data center audit. I pray everyday that something has sunk into my brain - i know the next three months will be very busy - as I take on the in charge roll. Oh MY!
