Weekend in West Virginia

Posted 4 November 07 under , ,

This is my Grandma Bert, and today is her 80th birthday. To celebrate, my mom and her brother put together a big party in her honor, and invited something like the entire state of West Virginia. Seriously a hundred people showed up. I tell you what, if I can get that many people to come to my 80th birthday, I’ll know I did something right.

It was great to catch up with a lot of family that I haven’t seen since I was a youngin. Thanks for putting this together, mom and Uncle Zeke; I know you worked hard to make this happen. Alas, on the way home …

Oh noes! A speeding ticket. Fortunately, the officer took it down to 74 in a 65, and I was able to make a full recovery:

See all the pictures in this album. Love you, Grandma.
