55

I hear "millions" of others ask the same question... "when??"  "When did I become a grandmother -- to this great little guy"... "when did I become so very blessed to have such a wonderful family.... and husband"... "When did I become 55".... and all of that answers to "today"....


55!!! double nickel... more than half a century... and it all happened in the blink of an eye. 
Since Kas and Nate married, Deb and I share these celebrations... and I couldn't think of anyone better to do that with. So, in our "usual and annual" way... we all got together for dinner, and celebrations!!!! These are the real presents in life...... the ones that I will always cherish...
And after coming so close to losing Dad this past winter, to have him (and Mom too) at my birthday party is the icing on the cake for sure....
Speaking of cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deb is double nickel this year too!!!!! Funny how our first born kids were both born on the 1st day of the month (Nate in August, Kass in October)  and Deb and I are just days apart with our birthdays......
Making wishes......................
and enjoying family!!!  Mom, Reagan, Janice and my Dad...... all of Reagan's "greats"....



Even Nora decided to stay for the party.. and just for the record, I made that quilt for Kass and Nate.... it was a great evening, I couldn't have asked for anything nicer that my double nickel birthday... and onto many more.... 


The next day, Dave brought the snowmobiles up to the farm and the boys took to the woods for a nice ride. You'd think with all the snow we have had, that these kinds of things would be happening all winter. But, actually the snow has been too deep.... and it's been super cold, so you grab a good day when  it comes...
Ed and I have talked about finding a couple of machines that we could use, we might have to put that on the "bucket list"....
Kass, Reagan and I just enjoyed being at the farm while the boys were out... I love it when they visit...



With dreams that spring is just around the corner..... it's time for the seasons to begin their change... winter has been here long enough.........
