Weekend & Then Some

Surprise, surprise..... Marissa had a surprise birthday party for Jonathan for his Big 3-0. She arranged it at the Wallace's lake house and invited not only family, but several of their friends. Jonathan knew something was coming because he had 3 people wish him a happy birthday that day. People that would not normally pay that much attention to his birthday, especially a week early. Marissa's grandmother from Highlands also came down. Holly, David and Macon made it too. We ate & ate & ate low country boil.
Marissa's great grandmother on her mom's side fell and broke her hip, so Marsha and Gay (Mom & grandmother) couldn't make the party.
We all chipped in and gave Jonathan an outdoor grill. When Griffin and his parents came in from the lake on Sunday they stopped by our house to see Frank/Grandaddy before he went home. Think Jonathan got most of the grill put together Sunday afternoon. Holly had come over earlier to spend time with Frank, so we got to see our kids again.
I took Frank home yesterday (Sunday) and then came on to Charlotte. Manchie is staying in Greer until Thursday because she and Holly have a television crew taping (digitaling???) a segment at the store space on Thursday and they have to get ready. It will take hours to get ready to tape what will end up being 2 1/2 minutes on tv.
I'm heading back to Greer tomorrow so I can go to Hannah's concert at the Peace Center. For Hannah and me it will be a big deal. Then back to work on Wednesday in Charlotte.
Manchie and I are going to Littleton on Saturday for my 43 year high school class reunion. I know... 43 year reunion? It is for five classes that includes Joyce's, Charles' and mine. Starts with Joyce's and goes through the class behind mine. I'll try to remember to tell ALL about it next week. Joyce says there are 161 folks signed up to attend on Saturday. Must be a good turnout with spouses because all the classes combined didn't have that many people...!!

Have fun at the Jaybird reunion. Cobe looked through mom's yearbook over spring break and got a kick out of how much she was involved in. He didn't need to know there were only 3 girls in the class! :-)

Jonathan's party sounds fun. Nice gift too.
