My son gets married in 6 days. That is an amazing thing to say! Wow - it is so strange how time passes without us noticing, and when we notice, the moments are gone.
However, before he left home and moved out to prepare for his wedding, we celebrated his 23rd birthday together! We had a fun day. He wanted to start the day eating breakfast at Elmo's - NOT Elmo as in
Sesame Street, but Elmo is some old local guy with a diner. Richard has been taking the kids there for breakfasts for years. Here is a little taste of homegrown Carroll County fun:
Nothing at Elmo's is fresh other than the eggs and probably the bacon, etc. -no fruit, no smoothies, no fancy coffee or hot chocolate drinks. All utensils and dinnerware are plastic and Styrofoam. It's a fun flavor of our area - and a great memory.
Other festivities included opening presents, eating CRABS and having cake. Well, Mint Brownies. Hmm.... lots of celebrating around food.... wow. Weird. Anyway....

| Lots of fun "gamer" stuff from his B. (Aka Brittney) |

| Then...... |

| And now..... Sigh. |

Sigh is right. Makes me teary. Why do these darn kids have to grow up??
