Who’s up for a gnome yard invasion to celebrate a neighbor’s 91st birthday?
I recently saw a fun announcement on one of our Webster Facebook pages which I wanted to share with everyone, because I think it’s exactly the kind of thing we love to do as a community.
It was an invitation from my friend Rebecca Orr, who asked that everyone help her aunt (whom everyone calls “Nanny”) celebrate her birthday in a special way.
Nanny, who turns 91 on April 26, was in the hospital on her 90th birthday, so she didn’t get to enjoy any birthday festivities then. So this year, Rebecca came up with a fun idea. Apparently Nanny enjoys sitting in the front window of her home at 790 Webster Rd., watching cars go by, people walking, deer crossing, and just enjoying the view. It would make Nanny giggle, Rebecca said, to see her yard fill up with gnomes.
“Nanny loves her gnomes and chillin’ with her ‘gnomies’,” Rebecca wrote. “As the memories fade, we are working on making new ones. Let’s make this birthday one of the best! Maybe we can get one gnome for each year?”
So, if you’d like to join the fun, drop a gnome into Nanny’s front yard anytime. She lives at 790 Webster Rd., across from Waterbrook Crossing — it’s a white house with a yellow front door (but please don’t knock on the door). And if you see her sitting in the window, feel free to give a wave, and feel great about helping make this 91st birthday a forever memory.
