Although you have recently left us – your influence is still very much felt.
I wanted to let you know of a few things we did, “in your honor”:
The night that you flew back to your home, nestled in the mountain side, we let the girls put on dress-ups and have a dance before going to bed.
Only you will get this joke, but Millie put these on her head and declared:
“MY PANTALONES!”
Oh, how we laughed!
The following day, again, in the “spirit of grandma” we had a birthday party for this guy,
Millie’s dog, Chase.
I think you would have approved!
Everyone got their own couture hat (including the stuffed dog)
There were candles
And cupcakes for all!
And in case you are wondering – those cupcakes were pretty yummy.
Thanks for inspiring us to have more fun around here.
We love you
and
still miss you…
So! When are you coming back?

Those cupcakes were yummy. Did we ever figure out what else we can frost with the leftover frosting?

I’m crying.
But I’ll tell you what….Jan should know that I have some really delicious root beer cookie frosting in the fridge. And there are some elegant photographs just waiting to be snapped. The stuffed animals are whimpering in the closet. Can you hear Zion calling, my pantaloned ones?
