Things that are older than Kay...

My Mom's cousin is Kay. She turns 68 tomorrow. We're not gonna let that pass without a bit of a celebration.

Kay has led an interesting life. Raised by a woman who was married 8 times, Kay herself ran away and got married at 14. By 17 she had three children of her own. Her marriage was not the best, but she stuck it out, until about 10 years ago. It's been like watching a butterfly emerge from a coccon. She's as silly and fun as at 24 year old in a 67 year old body. She came with us to Puerto Vallarta last year - her first time out of the United States. She oooooooo'd and ahhhhh'd and just thoroughly enjoyed every second of that trip.

So, today, at dinner, our family played "Things that are older than Kay", with hilarious results...they include:

The Alphabet is older than Kay ( according to Hope)
Automobiles (according to Joey)
Cockroaches are older than Kay (according to Matthew)

I typed up about 25 of them, put them in a mason jar and put a ribbon on it. Kay should be laughing herself silly this time tomorrow....
