A 21st Birthday Girl deserves a little bling in her card.
Our granddaughter, Amanda, has spent the last week celebrating #21. Our son, Bill, surprised her with her first plane ride. They flew over his house in New Kent yesterday where family and friends were assembled for the surprise party.
Amanda said she was "scared to death" but had a lot of fun. It was definitely a birthday to remember. Grandpa and I had sent a pretty floral arrangement complete with balloon. And I had made her this card and bookmark to commemorate the occasion.
The sentiment expressed on the card?
"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can." -- Danny Kaye
She probably doesn't even know who Danny Kaye was. He died 5 years before she was even born. I felt this was a fitting quote for a card created by this grandmother just for her.
Another reason a Danny Kaye quote is apropos? Danny Kay was an accomplished pilot, licensed to fly everything from a single engine Piper Aztec to multi-engine commercial jets. A Vice-President of Learjet, Danny owned and operated a Learjet 24.
Though coincidental, a quote from Danny Kaye seems to fit right into the scheme of things for Amanda's big surprise.
Happy #21 to our sweet, smart and beautiful granddaughter.
