and the sun comes out

We woke up early and dragged ourselves out to Temple for lunch with the family and a birthday celebration for Alan's great-aunt Melada. She turned 90 yesterday, and grew up in a predominantly Czech speaking household here in Texas. Alan's extended family is very welcoming and gracious. I do like them.

We returned home with a box full of cherry and poppy seed kolach.

90. That's impressive. My only grandparent I thought would make it to 90 died in 2002. The rest of them are not in good health and 90 is several years away.

It is an esteemed age. I've had a couple family members live past 100, and it was mind boggling.
