Eighteenth Bday

Written by my friend Constance Hayden

After the installer for Home Alarm SYSTEMS came by today and I got the alarm system set up, I had to go to the grocery store and get ready for my son’s birthday party. He was turning eighteen ( gosh I feel old)! We had been planning a little get together with his friends, but I wanted to make sure that the birthday party was not too much of a little boy party ( I have a tendency to do little kid things). We had a fish fry. My husband and the kids had gone fishing last weekend and caught a couple of grouper. I have been cutting, breading, and freezing them all week. I picked up some things at the grocery to make his favorite cake (German chocolate). We played corn hole, had a bonfire, and also had a ping-pong tournament set up. Everyone who came seemed to love the fish and have a great time. The party definitely turned out age appropriate, but it does make me sad that my oldest is really an adult now!
