Happy Birthday Nonnie!!

August 18, 1927 - That was the day my grandmother, known as Nonnie, was born. Today, we celebrated her 81st birthday. My uncle, aunt, cousin, her boyfriend, Russ, and I went over to Nonnie and Pops' tonight for fried chicken and cake! This is the same crew that goes to Panama City Beach each summer...so you know how much fun we have!

Me, Nonnie, and Clancy (my cousin)

My Uncle Howard gave Nonnie a "Squirrel-Be-Gone" for her birthday! Hilarious! It's a bird feeder that keeps the squirrels out. Apparently, this has been a problem in the past.

After cake and gifts, Clancy and I began teaching "Cell Phone 101" beginning with: Push the green button to talk. Pops was having trouble working his cell phone, so we tried to help out several times.

He's trying to work this new-fangled technology.

Finally, Clancy wrote out directions. Apparently, Pops was not understanding her written directions. Therefore, Clancy calls out, "Megan, you're a teacher. Write him directions he can understand! Mine aren't worth anything." So, I rewrote them with illustrations. Maybe he will be able to keep up with this piece of paper. After a few more "practice calls" to Clancy, Uncle Howard, and myself...Pops began to grasp how to find a name, press send, and hang up. I hope he can remember!

All in all, it was a great night! Russ and I had a lot of fun! Happy Birthday, Nonnie! I hope there are many more to come!!!
