Happy Birthday!

Well I am a little behind in posting in the Word Garden.  I have several subjects to cover so these may be short! Two weeks ago we went to Mom and John’s, and decided even thought it was 10 days early we would make a celebration for John’s birthday:  97!  He may have a few struggles here and there, but he cooks all the meals and pays all the bills and takes care of my little mother!  We are blessed to call him Dad. 

Early on Saturday morning we took Mom over to get her hair cut, and walked around the store waiting for her turn.  She hadn’t really been shopping much since mid-fall, and as we wandered around several things caught her eye – – like donuts, sweet rolls, Chex Mix, little pies…. 🙂  So we stocked up for her and got John his cookies and peanuts.  She looked fresh and cute with her hair cut and styled.  Once we had lunch we did the cake and gifts.  John was excited to have us fuss over him, and we lit the candles and sang for him as he held his cake out for the camera.  Several big balloons danced around on the dining room table. 

It’s always a joy to spend time with our parents, and be part of their care, their celebrations, and their support.  Next trip:  mid-May!
