September marks the BEGINNING of my FAVORITE SEASONS……Fall and Winter! And what better way to start the BEGINNING OF LOTS OF FUN than to celebrate birthdays! Here are some of my favorite September birthday folks……
First is Lil – my daughter in law who met my son Rob on the internet – can you believe it! They now have blessed me with FIVE GRANDANGELS. Happy Birthday to Lil September 12. Here she is with my namesake, Shirley Anne. Now how nice a daughter-in-law is this to name her only daughter after her mother-in-law! 🙂 She teaches me all of the best coffee drinks at STARBUCKS and she also taught me to play BINGO!

I have TWO SPECIAL QUILTING FRIENDS who had birthdays – both on September 17th! How much fun is that? I HAVE TO GET MY CAMERA OUT THE NEXT TIME I SEE THEM…….watch out Sheddy and Carmen…the paparazzi will be lurking! Sheddy has CHANGED my life. She got me HOOKED on Quiltville.com and all of the FUN MYSTERY QUILTS!
TODAY (September 18) is my grandangel, Lacy’s 19th birthday. I call her LUCY LACY because she reminds me of LUCILLLE BALL of “I LOVE LUCY!” She is a sophomore at Berkeley having lots of fun living in the sorority house this semester! I wonder if she has offered to cook for her sorority sisters? She once fixed me rice and cornflakes (that was my first course) and RAW TOP RAMEN NOODLES with mustard (my second course) and for a MOVIE SNACK she made popcorn (burned) with pepper (instead of salt) on it. She and I have a lot in common – we both get lost easily and we are both vegetarians who are health conscious! LOL
Lacy is 19 September 18th
Tomorrow (September 19th) grandangel James will be 6 years old. Here he is with his cousin Cooper (5) – they both love playing on the WII and are great buddies. Both of these boys are FUNNY and FUN to be with! James is a COMPUTER GEEK at 6 years old…..and I think that both of these boys have the family PING PONG GENE!

And then there is ME…..my birthday is the 24th. This year I am excited because my daughter Christi and my grandangel Sarah are taking me antiquing on Saturday….and this is SOME KIND OF A MIRACLE because this is the FIRST TIME that Christi has suggested such a FUN THING!!! 🙂 You can’t believe HOW EXCITED I AM.

My parents sent me yet another birthday present…..cake carriers – for my quilt pieces (I am packing them for the upcoming COUNTRY PIECEMAKERS’S RETREAT!) I had so much trouble finding these in Midlothian. I went to WAL-MART 3 thee times but they were always sold out. So mine came from WAL-MART in Kansas City, Missouri! Look at how much fun I had unpacking! My daddy is the WORLD’S BEST PACKER. There were newspapers, pieces of foam, bubble wrap, file folders – you name it…….there was NO CHANCE that anything was going to happen to those boxes in the mail. It took me 7 minutes to get it all unpacked (yes I did time it!)….there were layers upon layers of tape in all sizes and colors.
..so it took a full 3 minutes to get the top open!
But hey, they made it without a scratch!
