Reminders!

Don't forget our plans to fete Grammy:

Work on your page for the family album.

Collect birthday cards from friends and extended family.

Email me any photos you want included in the slide show.

Doesn't she have a microwave-conventional oven combo device? Does she need the same or just a microwave?

Presents

If people are wondering what Grammy is in need of, she mentioned a new microwave and coffee-maker for Dover.

Save the date!

Grammy's party will be Saturday January 24th early afternoon. Hope all can attend!

slideshow idea

Perhaps we can organize the photos in groups with themes, such as:

1. Lets Play Dress up: we should have lots and lots of pictures, kids and adults, in dress up outfits!

2. Party or Funeral: Plenty of pictures of both types of events and we can have a secret ballot game- who identifies the most pictures as belonging to the correct type of celebration wins.

3. Brand new baby pictures: This could be good motivation for the aunts and uncles to get copies/pictures of their baby pictures and their children's baby picture - we can make a game with them, too.

4. The international travelers that Grammy has inspired: Everyone try to include at least one picture of every foreign country they have been too - to express to Grammy how much she has encouraged and inspired us all to travel, from Argentina to Xela!

5. Try to gather a picture from each year in Florida of grammy sunbathing on the beach!

Any other ideas?

more ideas

Another idea I had for Grammy was to solicit birthday cards from everyone who knows her -- we could maybe get 90?  We could put the cards in the back of the book we are making.  I know my friends even from college would probably want to take part in this.  If we think of all the people who know Grammy from staying at everyone's houses and taking friends to Dover and the mill over the years, we could get a lot of cards!  So, I thought each person could be in charge of collecting cards from their circle and then I would compile them all (you could mail them to me or I could put it together at the party).  What do people think?

Poll for date

To log your preferred date for the party - please comment to this post, rather then make a new post - just easier to keep track of the responses. The three-day weekend is January 17-18-19.
