My darling granddaughter turned 12 on September 30th and her Mimos and PopPop were there to celebrate. In fact, we haven’t missed a birthday yet! Our first night with the birthday girl we ate at her favorite restaurant La Cocina. She was surprised to get so many presents; she is not one of those kids who just expects it.


Bruce and I played a round of golf at 401 Par Golf. It was a beautiful day and a great way to spend some quality outside time. I think the golf lesson my daughter gave me months ago helped a bit too! We did a bit of shopping with Kadyn. We went to Joann’s Fabric Store for material. Kadyn’s new endeavor is fashion design. We also went to Michael’s for art supplies because she loves to paint.
Angus Barn
It was five days of celebrating Kadyn with our final nights feast at Angus Barn in Raleigh. The food was delicious and the place was very interesting. It’s definitely a place to go for that special occasion. Bruce and I shared a prime rib and Kadyn ordered a lobster tail. I don’t think she was that crazy about that.
What a wonderful few days celebrating the sweetest girl ever!
