{PHFR}

 ~Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~ Every Thursday, here at Like Mother, Like Daughter! ~

{Pretty}




The yarn bowl in that top picture was a birthday gift this week.  My youngest daughter had it hand forged for me.  The color in the photo doesn't really bring out the blues in it.  I loved this style as it is shallow and the design around the sides look like waves.  If I can't be near the water this summer I can at least knit from a bowl that looks like it!
This beautiful butterfly seems to love the Abelia in my front yard.  He was really quite large.  Approx. 3.5 inches across!

{Happy}




Yes I have reached that milestone!  Tuesday was the big day. My oldest and youngest daughter treated me to a full day of fun and then a big family dinner.  Just an all around lovely day!

If you look in the background of that top picture you will see little Evelyn in tears.  At 2 years of age, she still thinks all the candles are for her.  We lit a couple of them a second time so she could blow tout with Grandmother.  :))

 My hair seems to be graying at a very alarming rate.  Not sure how I really feel about it.  I know I don't want to add any color as the drawbacks to that healthwise are not good.  Time will tell!

{Funny}


Looks as if Rachel needed to give those little "piggies" of hers some rest!

As I wrote earlier in the week, Mr. Golfer and I had 3 of the grandchildren for 3 days while their parents went on an Anniversary trip.  It turns out that they loved to play with the most unexpected items!

Linking up with Aunt Leila today!

Week Ending Vol 14 Birthday Edition!


~ capturing the weekend in pictures Friday through Monday

Re-inventing Mother
 
 
 
Tomorrow, Monday, is my birthday!  It doesn't bother me to say 57!  Wow!  I am still trying to wrap myself around that number.  Some good, some not so good and I think the not so good comes from just feeling my age.  Whoever said that 50 was the new 30 was not 50!
 
I share this birthday weekend with my grandson who turned 4 on the 26th.  There is nothing about me that doesn't love sharing  such a fun occasion with my first grandchild!  Bring it on!!!!
 
 
The weekend's pictures are all about birthday.  We began with Patrick's party for his friends at Pump It Up.  This was a fun little place where the children could run, jump, slide, and bounce!




 



 
 
 
Lilah and Evelyn had a great time at their first kid party!
 

We then went back to my daughter Julia's house ( Patrick's mother) and had family party.  Mr. Golfer and I gifted Patrick with the Cozy Coupe car and he loved it!




 
After the party I was able to pick up my birthday gift from Mr. Golfer which was my repaired Bernina.  I have waited months to get this working again! I spent part of the evening working on a little project.



After Mass this morning, we returned to Julia's and did it all over again for me!


I got to choose the age for my Lightening McQueen cake!  Oh I wish!!!!


Son in law and boyfriend.


Daughters and boyfriend.


Rachel enjoyed all the activity!


We played outside!






And enjoyed a rare photo together!
