Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

My parents came to town and brought my Mamaw Ruby and took me out to 
dinner.  So now I am very full of pasta and pecan pie.  (I was not 
given the opportunity to say "Waiter there is too much pepper in my 
paprikash, but I would be part to partake of your pecan pie." Ten 
points to your house if you identify the quote.)  They had stopped at 
the farmers' market in Asheville and bought tomatoes, sweet potatoes, 
and a very large grapes and shared them with me.  

A funny school story to tell:  Yesterday I was working with two of my 
2nd graders on their sounds.  I asked one of them to put 'raisin' in 
a sentence.  This was what he said.  "Ms. Gabbard is plump and 
wrinkled like a raisin."  !!!  LOL
