92...wow! This past weekend, Grandmother Herd turned 92. We all celebrated her big day over a delicious Chinese-cuisine lunch prepared by Paula on Sunday. Grandmother Herd requested for her birthday cake, a blueberry scone cobbler thing prepared by Paula. It was delicious, of course! For the recipe, I believe Paula will put it on her recipe website (www.salad-in-a-jar.com)
Despite turning 92, Grandmother Herd is really with it, and is a good example to me of how to not give up on learning new things. She is one of the few grandparents I know who can use a computer, operates a digital camera, emails, and makes greeting cards. She has a wonderful gift of arranging flowers, and cheers up the residents at her retirement community, Lakewood Village, with various flower arrangements on a daily basis. It's neat to see how God is continuing to use her to bring a smile to other's faces despite her age.
Paula has become quite the photographer lately. She even took a class at UTA for about 6 weeks to learn a few more tricks to make the food pictures on her website even more professional looking. It may be fun to get into photography myself in the future, but for now I'm more of just a "point & shoot" girl. 
Posing for the camera before enjoying lunch on Sunday. We love you, Grandmother & Grandpa Herd! I know you read our blog, but don't know how to leave a comment. It's ok....the comment feature on this blog software is a bit tricky, so don't feel bad. We love you for at least reading our posts. 
Aunt Amanda & Uncle Brett enjoyed watching Kent at the birthday party on Sunday. Kent was quite the social butterfly over lunch, and is getting more entertaining. I think the next family birthday party is Paula's, so watch for it soon. She claims that she doesn't want a birthday party, but whatever...Paula, we are going to do something to celebrate, so there!
Have a blessed day, everyone! We love you, Grandmother Herd!

I know this isn't what your post was about at all...but Amanda looks beautiful in that last picture!
I just had a good laugh when I thought about my comment in relation to a comedian that we saw while in Vegas. In talking about how men and women relate to their friends totally differently he said, "For example: It's ok for a girl to tell another girl 'You look gorgeous in that shirt!' but you'd NEVER catch a guy telling another guy 'Dude...you look hot in those pants.'" lol. Yep. He's right. And for some reason I'm glad that I don't hear guys telling each other how good lookin' they are! lol
Susie, You don't need a class. Your pictures are already awesome. You've got composition down!
