Happy Birthday Kelly Jo

Today is my sister Kelly's 50th Birthday. Each family member and friend is celebrating it in their own way. My niece took her little one (Kelly's only grandchild) to Olive Garden and got her a piece of birthday cake for her grandma. The picture of her sweet face with all of the cake, frosting, and smiles was totally worth the effort. Today, I got a hair cut, wore red (her favorite color), and am now in the process of making a nice dinner for myself. I have a bottle of Martinellis to toast her with that I have saved from when her daughter got married. I bought Junior Mints and will watch the movie Hocus Pocus. Watching a movie with Junior Mints was something that Kelly and I did whenever I would go up to visit. We had a lot of jokes about those mints! I chose to watch Hocus Pocus tonight because it's a movie about three sisters. I will let each of you chose which witch is which! Halloween night I will, of course, require each trick or treater to show me a trick! This was something our Daddy always made us do before we could get a treat from him. Kelly and I always take great delight in the "tricks" the children come up with each year. If the child can't come up with one, they can always sing "Happy Birthday" to Kelly. I have had at least one each year sing for her. It's nice to have good memories to fall back on when life becomes to hectic. Love you Sis!
