    Of course there was the customary trek to the bar.
    I only stayed about 45 minutes.
    I can only stand so much cigarette smoke and loud rednecks in the background.
    Plus the roads were really icy.
    Her girlfriend was her designated driver. The girlfriend is getting married Saturday and Rachael is the maid of honor. Tomorrow night they are having the hen party downtown at some club with an 80s room.
    (we call it a bachelorette party)
    She is up in bed with a heavy head, having taken the rest of this week off to help with the wedding.
    Just wanted to share.
    Love….Jill

    😳
    I like how her young fresh skin highlights my wrinkles.
    Thanks for the kind words!
    She favors her paternal grandma (now 85)
    She is up and about and feeling OK.
    Right now she is at the driver’s license center renewing her license.
    She turned out OK despite having me for a mom.

    Jill I would say she turned out O.K. because she has you as a mum

    Rachael wants to know if Paul’s son is single. Looks like they are born on the same exact date/year!
    She was tickled with the nice words (so was I)
    Here she is just a little while ago with a Dairy Queen cake (the dog looking on eagerly)
    We didn’t have any birthday candles in the house so I had to recycle one from Justis’ 4th birthday! (he is now 13)
    hahahaha
    We did not have time to do that cake last night.
    Tonight she is at the fire hall helping to decorate for the wedding. I donated directional signs and a banner, and she delivered those for me.
    PS
    Just saw the talent question.
    She is everything I am not!
    Neat
    Organized
    A good housekeeper
    etc etc

    You are both gorgeous woman. If she only turns out to be 70% of her mum she’ll still be doing OK. Its nice to see families that are obviously close.

    Only seemed like a year ago she was 20…. how time flies.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Jilly

    Yes Paul is still single & was born 16-12-87 @ 00.53

    What time was Rachael born Jilly

    Here he is with his nice little sweet cake & with the same sort of birthday candles, In my day the cake would be on fire and need more than just one BLOW

    His cake looks nicer than hers!
    Rachael was born at 10:50 am, after a ride to the hospital in 5" of fresh snow, through rush-hour traffic, with me clenching my legs together in the back seat and saying Hail Marys. Very fast labor and she has been a pistol ever since!

    My wife is jealous. 4 1/2 days labour with our daughter. She was in no rush to come out and 12 years later she still doesn’t move fast for anyone 🙂

    Congrats to you both Jill. really nice picture.
    Our youngest turns 30 today not sure how that works as my head still thinks I’m 21. My body thinks I’m 90. Dropped something the other day and left it till something else dropped. Had to make the trip down worthwhile.
    cheers Mike

    Well, the wedding is over, thought I would share a few pix.
    Rachael saved these from the camera to the computer, so they might be huge.
