Catherine



Tuesday I drove to Billings, Montana to help my oldest daughter, Catherine, celebrate her 48th birthday. I told her to pick someplace where she wanted to go for lunch so she picked an Irish Pub knowing that it would be a big treat for me. Next we went shopping at a couple places, Hobby Lobby and Barnes and Noble not because that would be her choice but she knows I love those places. That's the way she is - she's so unselfish. And she's so happy sharing what you like for her birthday.

After the shopping of her choice we had some birthday cheesecake and coffee at B & N to celebrate and we had her first grandchild as a special guest. It was a lovely day with her.

Catherine is so hard working but yet she seems to have time for her children, her grandchildren, her parents, her in-laws, sports that her children are involved in, school activities and she works for a children's dentist. I have no idea how she finds the time but she has a pretty yard and takes special joy in her flowers in the summertime. Whew!
(Both of these pictures are of Catherine, just a little different look)


Then I headed back home. This is a picture going from Montana to Wyoming. I thought it was a perfect end to the day.

God bless you, Diane

  2. Oh how special, Diane. Happy Birthday to Catherine. I can tell how proud you are of her. If she is unselfish, she definitely takes after her mother!!!!

    The granddaughter and your great grandbaby are beautiful also.

    Glad you had a wonderful day.
    Hugs,

  6. I think I love Catherine.

    And you can't imagine how exciting it is for someone in England even to hear of someone driving from Montana to Wyoming! That picture is amazing, BTW - it looks as if it's moving.
