Nancy, your family has lots of reasons to celebrate in May.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, Colleen. And I hope there will be more next year!
DeleteMay 1, my maternal grandfathers birthday, May Day made special. May 13, my sister's birthday which sometimes falls on Mother's Day. May 22 my brother's birthday. Those are the special ones for me. Extended family and friends help fill up many of the other dates on the calendar.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have several close family members who celebrate birthdays in May. Happy Birthday to them, QuiltGranma.
