A very BIG day

Some things just CANNOT wait!!!

Though it was after 1:00 in the morning when we arrived back at the McLean's, I HAD to have one (or two) of the cookies that Grandma had brought for me.  They were DELICIOUS!!!!

Grandma found her spot in the sun.  Anytime we couldn't find her, this was the first place to look.  :-) 

And it's happy birthday to me all over again as I go through all the goodies that came down with my guests!

DILL PICKLES!!!!!!

Yummy!

Steady. You can do it.

Grandma tries on the other side.

One-handed attempt!

She did it!!!
