Family BIRTHDAY WEEK
Last Saturday was my grandson James birthday. He is now a teenager. That went fast...
It's also my son Brook's birthday today. He's 49, and that went fast too...
And it's my husband Allen's birthday this Saturday, he's 75 and that went fast too.
Next year in 2020, I'll have my 80th birthday and I can't believe how fast that went too....
