Happy 90th Birthday Granny!

My Dad's Mom, "Granny," turned 90 years old last week and the entire family gathered for a big surprise party at her home in Ralls, TX (outside of Lubbock). It was a great trip. The four of us flew up with my Stan and Pam (who pretty much took over parenting Owen for us for the weekend) and Alex and my cousin Jolie. We saw pretty much the entire family--and met a few new additions which was a lot of fun.

As you would expect, Owen loved playing in the dirt of the cotton ("totton") field right next to Granny's home. We got to watch the cotton strippers (which Owen calls "bines" because they look like combines) harvest the field. We saw tractors of every color and even one funky (or "funkty") one with huge wheels that was not a real tractor but some other obscure piece of farm equipment I should but don't know about.


Here is my sweet Granny with Rebecca. I know we got a picture of her with Owen, but I think it's on my dad's camera and he's the worst about giving me pictures and videos that he's taken. You checking this Dad? :)
Happy Birthday Granny, we love you!!!
