Learning To Speak French

Orange rose.  The birthday celebrant picked this color because it's her future college color.

Our friend J and A invited us to their daughter's 18th birthday party this past Saturday.  The party was held in a clubhouse in Garland.  The clubhouse has a pool so guests were informed to bring swimwear just in case they want to go swimming after dinner.

It was nice because there was a kiddie pool with 1 1/2 feet deep water for the little ones.  Darling daughter couldn't wait to swim.  And I was glad that my dear husband went to the party with us.  He was the one watching over DD in the swimming pool while I was visiting.

J and her family just got home from a two-week vacation in Europe.  They went to France, Italy, and England.  It was really nice to hear travel stories from friends.  It gives you the feeling like you were also been to those places.  Our other friend E said her kids wanted to go on a vacation, too.  But they want to go to France first.  That's why they are learning to speak French through a translation service online.  She was proud of her girls because they are learning fast.  I think learning how to speak a new language is a big plus to your skills.  It can be an addition to your resume.

We all had fun at the party.  Since it was an 18th birthday celebration, the celebrant gave away 18 roses.

Sister's Debut

"Happy 18th Birthday to my baby sister today!  You have grown into a young lady now.  We are wishing you the best of everything.  God bless you."

My baby sister turns eighteen years of age today.  Whoa!  Seems like yesterday and, oh how time flies so fast.  She is the tallest among the four of us, man.  Well that is what afternoon naps can do, I believe.

Her birthday celebration will be next weekend because this week is their examination week in school.  We planned for the dinner party for two weeks now.  The party is going to be held at a resort hotel in Ormoc City.  I hope everything will turn out fine.  She is very excited and anxious about this.  The function room and hotel accommodations are finalized already.  She and the family invited most of the guests personally.  The souvenirs are on their way.  We still need to work on some few things this week.  After that, we are all set for the dinner party.
