Grandma is 78 today

Today is the 78th birthday of Grandma Lydia. Pictured here is Grandma and her cutest(?) grandchild, Tinay. Don't they look like just mother and daughter.

From all of us Mommy,

The Children, the Grandchildren and the Great-granchildren

And From Grandpa Too

We Wish You a Happy 78th Birthday.

We Are All Very Glad to See You Looking So Strong and Healthy at Your Age.

We Hope and Pray that We Will Still See You

In the Same Condition Many Many Years from Now.

Alex And Jewel Lynda (Sison) Yadao

In this somewhat old picture is teener Jewel Lynda (Sison), first cousin to the Cabotajes and the Serranos, with her Mom, Marlene.

Jewel is not a teener anymore. Last Saturday, July 9th, Jewel and a young man we all call Alex, entered a major phase of their joint existence. They made it complete and made a pledge to each other to live together with Unconditional Love and to make it last forever.

Jewel and Alex

Got Married Before the Lord

and Became One.

To Jewel And Alex,

We Wish you All the Best of Life.

May You Have a Fruitful Union Replete With Love

and Affection and Respect for Each Other and a

Strong Commitment to Make it Last Forever.

We love you and our prayers will always be with You Two

and the Little Ones to Come.

Belated Birthday Greetings

Last week, it came to our attention that we failed to greet two other June Birthday Celebrants. But today we try to make up for the omission and Wish Them a Lot More Birthdays To Come.

The kids from the Cabotaje side of this blog would be glad to know that Uncle Willy (Sison) celebrated his birthday on June 16.

The kids from the Lombos side would be glad to know that Aunt Marina (Lombos) celebrated hers on June 18.
