I don't know quite how it happened, but my grandson, Jonathan aka JJ, has completed his 17th sun-circuit. It came very quickly, just like his birth 17 years ago. I was called to their house in the middle of the night to be there for Danica while Sue, Sha and Dad drove to the Almonte hospital. They were back in no time flat.
For now, I have decided to do postcard-style greeting cards rather than the traditional folding cards that I have been creating for so many years. You may recall me posting this photo last fall when he planted some tulip bulbs for us while doing acrobatics on the spade. I just added the text for the birthday greeting.
Then, the usual things occurred, depending on one's interpretation of usual, I suppose. 😎
Happy birthday to your boy!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Happy Birthday 🎂 to your teen.
ReplyDeleteWow, he sure is a good looking young man. I bet you're super proud of him. Happy wishes from afar!
ReplyDeleteHe's a good lad.
DeleteHappy Birthday to JJ! I like cookies better than most cakes. 17 was a great age for me; hope it is for him also.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be living a good life.

ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteHappy Birthday to JJ! I hope he has a great year. I’ve never heard of that chicken place, is it fried chicken? My mom used to want fried chicken for her birthdays too, when she was JJ’s age.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Canadian chain, but it is not ubiquitous yet. It has come to this town recently.
DeleteBy the looks of him JJ is going to be a tall fella - gangly youth is such a hard time. Love the mo…..gives him an individual ‘grown up’ look to his face
ReplyDeleteCute guy! You have Tim Horton's and Mary Brown's in Canada. We don't have so many places with names on them. But then our Jerk isn't done. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteYour places don't have names bc Trump? If you see this, please explain.
DeleteHappy Birthday to JJ! Great to see your grands. How did you come to be known as Amma and Buppa? I think those are great names.
ReplyDeleteThey were more or less how Danica said them when she was really little
DeleteHappy Birthday to JJ!
