Celebrated Trey’s mom’s 84th birthday last night.  Mom has been really sick over the last few months.  She has had a spirt of feeling good the last few days, and was excited to feel good enough to go out and eat.  She wanted Colton’s, so she got Colton’s!  And she was also serenaded by The Fox’s Skeeter Nash with one of her all-time favorites “Make the World Go Away” by Eddy Arnold!

Happy Birthday Ms. Glada Stafford!
