Dorothy Ann turns 90!!!!






















Grandma turned 90 on 8/25/2015.  We were so glad she decided to stay in Colorado until after her birthday.
More people were able to celebrate with her.  Lisa came into town the weekend before her birthday and we took Gma on the Royal Gorge train.  It was and fun trip and she has always loved trains.  On Saturday we prepared for the party which was on Sunday.  She enjoyed some edible arrangements, had a Persian meal (one of her favs too), got a pedicure, had brunch at the Wisdom Tea House, and had a fun party.  She was the queen for the day and we played a Gma trivia game, had a taco bar, and a pinata (made by Val and Eric). She enjoyed her 'Birthday Memory Book" with card, letters, and pictures.  She chose to have Key Lime Pie for dessert and we also had a small cake.  She sure enjoyed herself even though she had said she didn't really want a party.

Local Celebrity Alert

I had heard during the last Olympics that Jason Brown trains in Monument and attends college in Colorado Springs and already knew that Gma really enjoys watching ice skating and ice dancing.  Our local ice rink is doing very well and about 6 kids are training there instead of at the Broadmoor.  Gma and I went to see the end of the summer exhibition before she returned home to Ohio.  She was thrilled.  Jason only skated one routine but it was fun to watch.

The Zender's Visit





The Zenders came to visit on their cross country road trip.  We had a great time with them.  The kids enjoyed playing rum with Dorothy, playing bocce, hiking to the Crags, and spending time with each other.  They are such great neigbors (Gma's in Ohio) and friends.
