When you have 8 kids, and they have kids, and your husband also has 8 kids, many of whom have kids.... Well, you end up going to a lot of birthday parties! What's funny to me here is the mention of 'froth' that Grampa would be drinking. I remember Grammie was trying to get him and herself to lose some weight, so they would drink Ensure or other protein-type drink. Grampa didn't really like it - he loved to eat! So they called it 'froth' because it seemed so insubstantial. I don't know if it ever really did the trick in terms of losing weight though.
April 21, 1997
This morning we went to a 90th birthday brunch - so much food; and then in the afternoon we went to Grampa's granddaughter's (10 yrs) and grandson's (11 yrs) birthday party - more food! Grampa was in hog heaven. Now it's back to drinking froth and losing a bit of weight before his big day. [He was having surgery.]
We are just back from the 30th birthday party - our 5th birthday party in a week. We are all 'caked out! Hurrah! We are finally sleeping out on the porch. It really is nice... In the morning, Grampa goes to give a unit of blood and then in 2 weeks he gives another unit before his big day. You will be home in about 3 wks. Do you have your new room yet?
We went to Uncle Harry's 60th birthday dinner - just kids, Grampa & I. But it was good to see all the kids - grown up and I don't see them too often, so it is good to catch up...
