June 6th is a popular birthday around these parts!
Amber celebrated her 29th birthday today!
This was the very FIRST of what would be gillions!!! of pictures of her!!
This was also the very first time I got to hold her!
When I was pregnant I once jokingly said, "I hope I LIKE this baby!!"
You might be surprised but I have never been a baby person!
Her daddy looked at me and said, "YOU better hope this baby likes YOU!!"
It is also my mother's birthday!!
It's a funny story but true.....
I got pregnant (after 5 years of trying and a round of Clomid - a fertility drug) on my mother's honeymoon and then had the baby on her birthday! We had flown out to San Francisco where Mother and her next to the last husband were on their honeymoon. We had been there many times before and wanted to escort them around. After they flew back home we flew Summer in and stayed an extra week! We drove up to Yosemite National Park and stayed in some tent cabins. Anyway......
This morning Louis Dean and I picked Mother up as usual and I suggested IHOP - as usual!
The surprise was my sister and her daughter were there at the table waiting for us!
Mother is 88 years old!
We all laughed and talked and had such a good time together!!
Since we don't have any hot water at our house Louis Dean and I took showers before we came home this afternoon. I came in and went straight to the bedroom, put on my nightgown, turned the A/C, fan and sound machine on and went to BED!! It's a lovely thing to be able to take a nap anytime you want to!!

Happy birthday to your sweet daughter, specially because she is such a special mother of QUADS! Wow, your dear mom looks wonderful for her age and looks like she has a lot of zest for life yet!
Enjoy your weekend and have lots of naps!

YES, I agree! Some people wonder why Phil and I are night owls, and sleep late, and take some naps.But that is the beauty of being retired and doing whatever you want! Awesome, two birthdays of people you love very much, on the same day!!
You look so pretty with your baby daughter Linda!

What a pretty young mother you were (and still are). Your mother is too young looking and spry to be this age. Just eat her up while you can!!

Linda, what a great post! Happy birthday to your dear mother, and to Amber! And I loved the video of your mother. She seems like a lovely person, and you are just like her. I enjoyed hearing your's and your mother's voices!
Linda, love this chapter in your life. As a girl we camped in the tent cabins in Yosemite many summers. Camp Curry was our favorite, and the fire fall and Indian Love Call..
