Birthdays and A Little Matchmaking
March 27, 2009
I have memories of only two birthday parties from my childhood. Since my birthday is just one week before Christmas, it must have been tough to get such a thing organized. One was when I was young enough to feel miffed that I couldn’t win any of the games, the other was the year I turned 13 and my parents flew my friends from Maryland in to our new house in Pennsylvania.
Youngest grandgirl, Ayla, will not suffer such a fate. Her mom is a
kindergarten teacher that waited a very long time for a baby. At her second birthday there was a bounce house to share with her friends and cousins. Not to mention her snazzy ensemble honoring her favorite Sesame Street character, Abby Cadabby.
Then there’s that dance thing she got to do with her very cool older half sister. 
No birthday would be complete without presents and there were plenty of those too.
Yup, Ayla is one lucky kid, I know because I raised her mother.
Who just happens to be single, by the way. So if you have sons or grandsons, between 27-32, gainfully employed, must love children and go to church…e-mail me and let’s hook ‘em up.
I’m kidding Michelle!

Well, Quilly, I hope someone does! Look at the success you and OC have had. I’ll be right over to read your short story.
Nessa – Thanks, more importantly, they’re nice.
LJ – Recently single. She was married for ten years to a guy who thought he was Peter Pan. They were divorced last fall.

Wish I could oblige but I have neither sons nor grandsons! And funny, just last night a friend of mine was making a similar lament, only she was looking for a girl for her boy… Now, there’s a thought… Only he’s in London…

Good luck with the matchmaking… the song is stuck in my head now.
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match,
Find me a find, catch me a catch…

Hey Friend,
how come your blog gets photos and I donn’t, no need to tell me how lucky anyone would be to have Michelle as a partner,
Ayla would be the frosting on the cake.
love from

Yeah you know you’re not kidding…
they are so pretty, both of them, wow! I think your list of must-have credentials is exactly right. And that party looks like a lot of fun. I want one like that when I turn … um… one year older this summer. Hah.

Your daughter is lovely, Kat, so is her daughter.
