Gram's 80th Birthday


Saturday was Gram Martin's 80th Birthday. Cousin Jody managed to assemble an amazing family reunion in Belfast which surprised and delighted Gram. All of her 5 granchildren and their kids were there. It was great to see aunts & uncles and cousins that we don't see nearly enough. The weather was beautiful and we spent most of the day in Maggie & Chris's backyard reminiscing and watching the kids play. Some of my best memories are going to Greenville to spend a night at Gram & Gramp's. Usually, my cousins Marty, TJ, and Jody would be right there as well and we would spend the days out in the backyard or on the roof of their garage. And if we were lucky, we would get to sleep up on the third floor where we could stay up all night watching tv. I'll never forget all the great Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners we had in Greenville. Yesterday was a nice reminder of how much fun those holidays were. It was really incredible that Jody was able to make this day happen for Gram.
