Good Times

If you ask different people what the term good times conjures up, I'll bet you get many different answers. And if you ask the same person at different times of her life what that terms means you'll get different answers.  Right now, last night & today would be defined as good times. 

Last night I met one of my three beautiful children at the local Target with her family.  The occasion was her youngest's birthday.  The little guy was 5! and of course I am speaking of MY grandson.  This year we or I rather, decided to let him pick out his own gift.  I wasn't sure how this would work out, but it was great seeing him going back & forth between aisles of toys. It was funny to watch, but he took it very seriously.  His Dad was with in the aisles with him trying to guide him with fatherly wisdom.  Sometimes he would pick up something that wouldn't be quite the toy the little guy thought it would be, so Dad was there to point him in the right direction & appropriate age section. After much thought he finally picked his gifts & lucky for Grandma, he picked something on sale & something I would have picked anyway.  It was fun being with them in the store.

Then the best part was going back to the house for cake, ice cream & presents.  He may not have unwrapped them, but he sure did enjoy the heck out of ripping the box apart.  So fun.  My daughter made a delicious cake & some more family join us.  It was really good times.

It didn't end with last night either.  We have 4 family birthdays in March.  My daughter & son-in-law (parents of the 5 year old) also have birthdays. So I was able to give them their presents as well.  Then today I took MY big girl to lunch.  We had a wonderful afternoon.  We had wonderful weather warm & breezy. The sun was actually shining!!  Love it.  Our waiter looked like Sam Elliott. Who could complain about that?! The food was out of this world. And of course the company was fabulous!!

I was also able to get the birthday package in the mail to the special little girl who lives far away from Grandma. She's the 4th March birthday we celebrate. The package also has a little something else in there.  Grandma always likes to put a couple of surprises in her packages.

So even though the weekend is not over, good times so far.  Good times for Ms. Wannabe.
