87 and going strong!

We were so lucky to get to spend the weekend at Aunt Eileen & Uncle Sandy's to celebrate Grandma's 87 birthday! Noli got to meet her great grandmother (and get her ears pulled like all little Goodwins). We went to see Tom play the bag pipes and the other Brooks Men play the percussion. They marched over the town that grandma when went to college. She told me a story about one of the buildings downtown that would throw out turkey birds for who ever wanted them! Carl showed off his
curly locks and I couldn't be left out of that one. Oh and Mary Clayton, Aunt Eileen and I made mozzarella....and people ate it; talk about a trusting family!

Also there are a couple of pictures of Noli. That furrowed eye brows look is really common now. She is irritated or upset, just thinking, I think. Also there is a picture sporting her new hair style-- a punkin knot I think Dad used to call them.

Mon - what a BLESSING it is that you got to visit w/ your Grandmother. One day you'll cherish those picture more than you can imagine! What city were you in?
