Happy 8th Birthday to Blair
The Birthday Girl
So hard to believe this sweet, silly girl (our 1st granddaughter) is EIGHT today! She is a girlie girl full of vim and vigor with an exceptional vocabulary who loves to dance, dress up and play with her stuffies (especially Pusheen)! Pink is her favorite color, is crazy about unicorns and can hold her own with 3 older brothers!
Made some changes to yesterday's blog this morning....events were a bit out of order!
Mark and I were off to Hickory and an 8:45 appointment for me to have blood work done at Quest. Weeeellllll....this is the 2nd time I've had this scheduled (1st time was in Niagara Falls) and both times even though the lab had my orders from the doctor, they could not do the tests because they were not able to access it? It's a long complicated story that makes no sense and even customer service for their national line was frustrated and confused but is "looking" into the matter. That being said, I have had it with Quest and now scheduled for another appt. tomorrow (maybe 3rd time will be the charm)? This will be with LabCorp in Connelly Springs.
So, since we had not had breakfast, we found the Taste Full Beans coffee shop and had avocado toast (me) and burrito for Mark + our coffees. Cute little shop in downtown Hickory.
Blair is having a birthday party this afternoon from 1-4 at the camp with 16 friends. Sure hope the rain holds off....been drizzling off and on this morning.
The Birthday Cake (Pusheen)
Michael had a few projects for his Dad to work on and I did 2 loads of laundry. Said our good byes to Tessa as Drew took her to the airport for flight to Orlando where she's doing a summer internship (Melbourne).
Mark and I went to the camp for the last 45 minutes of the birthday party - kids were having a ball in the pool this humid afternoon but the rain held off!
