Happy Birthday Grandma Coral and Jules

 My wonderful Mom turned 92 yesterday July 14 on Bastille Day.  She is a one of a kind Mom who with my Dad gave us a childhood surrounded by love, play, plants, animals (a horse, donkey, dog, cats, chickens, fish, etc).  We built tents inside, put on plays, built outside forts, sang always.  I know so many songs that just come to my mind and burst from my mouth at inopportune times.  I love to sing, so that is good.  I learned the power of positive thinking from her and the ability to turn the lemons of life into lemon aid making life sweet and joyful.  
Jules is 5 years old today.  She has been the joy of my life since birth.  I laugh, dance, make up songs, sing lullaby's, read stories, create art, act out Winnie the Pooh stories, play "lets pretend".  Some quotes from her, "Lets go out to the tree house.  I'm Christopher Robin and you're Winnie the Pooh.  Do you want some honey Pooh?  Okey Dokey, here is some honey.  I think I'll live with you Pooh, at your house."  She gets a unbrella and walks around outside saying, "Tut, tut, it looks like rain.  Do you want to play in the rain, Pooh?"  While hopping with both feet in one of my crocs, "I'm a dufflepud that has only one foot .  I'm silly (hop, hop, hop).  You're a dufflepud too!  Be a dufflepud Nana!"  While taking stickers off a chair, "Sorry kid that's just the way life is.  You'll never see your stickers again!"
We celebrate Jules and Grandma's birthdays together with a girls party
