Birthday Party at 90

Many people have birthdays, but few of these birthdays are for people who turn 90. We dedicate this blog post to all those people out there who have celebrated this remarkable age.

Last week we enjoyed a Saturday evening celebrating a birthday for Amanda's Grandma Pace who celebrated her 90 birthday. Grandma Pace jokingly called her birthday get-together her "not-dead-yet" party. However, it was so much more than that, and Grandma Pace was of course the life of the party. She was surrounded by roughly 50 family members at a local park close to her home. We enjoyed food and watched Grandma Pace blow out 90 candles--joking about the 90 candles. Nevertheless, she has a good set of lungs that swept the fire right off the wicks.

So, Happy Birthday to Grandma Pace and all those other people celebrating their "not-dead-yet" parties. You are the example we need, so we can not only know the secret to blowing out all those candles on our cakes when we get that age, but also you are there to teach us how to laugh and enjoy the time we have been given in this life.
