We had a great trip to San Antonio, Texas for Aubrey’s grandpa’s 90th birthday (surprise) party. You never know what’s going to happen when you shock a 90-year-old, but everything turned out really great. They had maybe 100 friends there and we were even entertained by Grandma Smailes’ kitchen band, singing patriotic and religious tunes.
I’ve posted all the pictures from our trip on my Google Web albums.
We had a great time at the Alamo:
I had a good conversation with Grandma Folsom last night. I told her that we had ordered a copy of her book (Golden Harvest in Ghana: Gospel Beginnings in West Africa, by Marjorie Folsom) from Amazon.com, and she was quite amazed that it was out there for sale. I told her that we’d try to read it with the boys. Then she told me that I needed to call Horizon Publishers in Bountiful, Utah to make sure that she got the royalties for the sale. I thought that was pretty funny. It’s amazing that she is still hanging on, with only a few ounces of liquid a day. We keep praying that she will be relieved.
That really was a fun trip! Thanks for coming with me. And thanks for taking so many great pictures!
Your grandma is so cute! I love her little comment.
Looks like a fantastic time in TX. LOVED all the pictures, especially all the close up ones taken at the Alamo. The boys are growing up so fast!
When I think back to Grandma’s 90th surprise birthday party I remember how vibrant and sassy she still was. Her mind and spirit is still strong but her body is just plain worn out! Thanks for continued prayers on her behalf!
So did you call Horizon? 😉
haha!
Looks like you had a great time deep in the heart of Texas. Were the stars at night big and bright?
