We got a four generation picture of women in the family me, my daughter and her daughter, and my grandsons daughter. We missed my daughters other daughter who had to leave early and we didn't get my daughter in law in the photo. We didn't get photos of any of the men. Maybe we will do better Christmas Eve.W e did get a shot of me with the great grand kids and the birthday cake; their ages are from 8 -12. It is not easy to get a picture with everyone looking good but this one turned out pretty good.
That is the celebration tablecloth on the table. I had dyed fabric at a guild workshop 20 + years ago and I was going to throw it away recently because it ran when I washed it. However, I fished it out of the waste basket and made 16 patch checkerboard blocks and added a bright border. I thought if the colors ran "so what". Some of them did run when it was washed and you can see it on the solid yellow back but the front looks OK and it think it makes a nice family tradition to put it on the cake table.

Happy Birthday Ruthie! I hesitate to say you look awesome, but you do. You certainly don't look 80, that's for sure. I hope I follow in your youthful footsteps. That's a perfect celebration quilt. Especially great that you realized it was worthy of a fishing expedition. Wishing you many more great birthdays to come.
We missed you on Sat but we talked about you. I am honored that you are my friend. Here's to many more happy years.
