The Birthday Surprise

This is third in the series, A Day Well Spent, about my great grandfather, my great grandmother, my grandparents and their families. In the first, Through Time's Looking Glass, I take a step backwards to spend summers of the early 1900s in Illinois with them as a child. In the second, Listening to the Voice of the Hammock, they start coming south with family to winter with us in Florida. In this sequel my cousin and I share our eighth birthday for which our families have planned the most wonderous surprise.
