Frannie's Birthday


My sister-in-law Frannie celebrated her 93rd birthday on the 28th.  I was three hours from Jacksonville where she lives so I left early Saturday and went to spend the night with her.
Her granddaughter Rebecca gave her a dinner party for friends to celebrate the occasion and it was wonderful to spend time with them both and to be part of the celebrations.  We're all looking forward to next year's birthday!!!

Saturday night brought huge storms to JAX, big lightening, thunder and heavy rain.  The poor group at Skidaway got even worse, tornado warnings with some touching down in the area.  They all left their campers and huddled in a cinder block bathroom to ride out the storm.  A few of the ladies were in the men's room because the women's bathroom was packed.  A man came in, used the stall, and assured all the women present that he had put down the seat!!  I think they all appreciated a little comic relief at that point.  

All's well that ends well, and it has given the WAC's another good camping story!
