Somehow, someway, we all made a racket for Mrs. Cummings... without her knowing!!
And had a BALL!!!
Surprise!
It was a very successful and fun match.. err, party
with guests flown in and lots of lime and hot pink!
With a gorgeous venue (well played, Dr. C!) -- The Cottages on Charleston Harbor
at Patriots Point,
and AMAZING grits
awesome music (Thanks Ian!!!!),
decor,
photography (I LOVE you Acacia!)
and company...
it was a big hit.
Her 6-love (60 for you non tennis playing folk) was a tennis theme bash. Dr. Cummings and the 3 boys showed their mom that
in tennis love is nothing, but in family.. it's everything.

You'd think at 60, tennis playing would be the last thing she'd want to do...

| haha....... just... kidding!! |
but Miss. Susie is still on the court daily!
-- So, here's to having a spare tennis ball in your pocket,
and NOT on the bottom of your walker :)
(ps. -- the professional photographer's pictures, Acacia Falzone, will be added later. I know we all eagerly await seeing those!!!!!)
This is the "second-shooter" / party guests' amateur display to hold everyone over !
ENJOY!!
And Happy Birthday weekend, Mrs. Cummings!'
Yes, Weekend!
--- but as Miss. Maryn would say,
"when is grandma's birthday over {sigh}?! "
 |
| The beautiful family. |
We all hope you thoroughly enjoyed the surprise, our deceit, sneaking around etc.
You deserve it.
You are truly loved. All 60 years of you!

 |
| I love the loufah's hanging as decor! (or as Will said, "You mean girls' washcloths!?!) |
 |
| She did good, didn't she? |
...More to come soon!
