My mom lives about an hour away. In an emergency, there is no thinking - I get in the car and go. Sad to say, but in normal times, that hour can seem like forever.
My mom's birthday was this past Saturday. We all took a trip to celebrate Grandma's birthday. We brought all the food and were prepared to have a nice lunch together.
There were 6 of us going - and with the ridiculous price of gas - we decided to go in one vehicle - so we proceeded to load up the Pathfinder.
Just as we were finished packing the car, Allison picks up a large insulated jug -"I have a surprise for you all!! I made an 'adult beverage' for us to have at lunch!" - (YOU GO, GIRL!!!)
Mr. Wonderful, hearing the squeals from the rest of us declared, "As I am the designated driver, why don't all of you pour yourselves "one for the road" and let's get moving! I have very obedient children - they all lined up and Allison poured them each a nice tall glass of Sangria! HERE WE COME, GRANDMA!!
Everyone was in a great mood by the time we got to Grandma's house. We had a nice lunch and the boys trimmed Grandma's hedges. We sat for a while and just visited - then we headed home - WITH THE INSULATED JUG!
Happy Birthday, Grandma. We had a wonderful time and made another great memory.

Grandma's birthdays are a great time for the rest of the family. Hopefully Grandma enjoys them as much as we do!
