Long Distance Birthday Greetings Grandma

Considering that they live over 800 miles away, we are very fortunate to get to see Grandma and Granddaddy Roe several times a year. Unfortunately, Grandma’s birthday commonly falls on one of those in-between times, so we have to send her actual birthday greetings long distance and be flexible on party dates.  Last year, snow delayed their New Year’s visit and we held her birthday party a week afterwards. The year before that, we were in Florida for Christmas and celebrated her birthday a week early. Our first and only birthday party with her on her actual birthday was the most memorable. We spent it in our basement hiding from a tornado. Now that was a party, but so is every opportunity to spend time with Grandma Karen.
