I wish I'd brought my CF card reader with me this weekend so that I could share pictures as well as words.

I drove down to my parents' place last night and have spent the day getting ready for my grandma's 80th birthday party tomorrow. I went shopping with my mom, took my grandma on an emergency trip to the doctor for a problem she developed with her hand, shopped some more, had a birthday party for my brother complete with steak and chocolate cake, and made a lovely apple pie.

Now it's late and we have to be up early again tomorrow to make the final preparations for the party. But I'm looking forward to it, as many of my extended family will be making the trip from the LA area, and I haven't seen them in quite a while.

I hope you are all having a great weekend too.
