THE GRANDMA BIRTHDAYS

Grandma Jan "Borschdors" Davis turned 70 on 31st January.



All five Ehman kids (above, the "nuclear" family -- some fallout but no longer radioactive) gathered for a party in her honor at Portage Yacht Club on that cold, crisp wintery day along with extended family and a few dozen friends of hers and Grandma Ethyl "Congo Bars" Stevens, who shares the same birthdate.

Ethyl has a few years on Jan but is just as youthful. Here's Ethyl with son Alan "Tool-Time" Stevens and the Stevens-Ehman (launched by Ruth) grandkids....





Grandma Jan claimed to be surprised that her "ex-pat" kids (Tom, Cris and Paul) had all flown in for the very nice occasion, tho one suspects she had been tipped off by her beau, Robert "Sherlock Holmes" Davis, who had scoped out rumours of our attendance. Here's the ever-vigilent Scoper with the Queens for a Day on either side of Kathy "Hot Lips" Leonard (a.k.a. "Aunt Kate," Leslie's sister)....





Pictures courtesy of Ruth's eldest, Rachel "lace4ever" Stevens, a member of the feared "Pinckney Paparazzi;" tho one suspects Rachel did not take the middle picture inasmuch as she is in it.
