Day 2 of vacation interruption! I was invited to go to Kelly’s for the afternoon. Matt’s sister Kim and her husband Greg were driving down from Altoona and Kim was providing all the food. They offered to pick me up in New Stanton. Nate drove me over to Sheetz where we met after church, and we had a pleasant drive down. First time in ALL THE YEARS that Kelly lived in West Alexander that I did NOT drive! Amazing! Thanks to Aunt Kimmie and to Nate for making it all work.
Food
Mac/cheese and corn.

We spent the afternoon eating and chatting. Logan and Clairese were there for a few hours, and I got to see the ring in person. They have chosen a wedding date (May of 2027 but I forget the DAY!) and have the venue booked (Morgantown). Peyton and Izzy stopped in just for a few minutes. There were 3 dogs there – Logan’s Ransom, Aunt Pat’s Shawnie, and Peyton’s Camo. They kept things lively.

The ring’s the thing! Congrats!

Matt brought the TV out to the deck and the gang was watching the Pirate’s game. I don’t know the outcome – go figure.

Watching the game – the dogs: Ransom on Kelly’s lap on left by TV; Shawnie by Pat’s shoulder (white hair in center); Camo bottom center.
Kelly gave me a devotional and it’s perfect! ‘Seeing God in America’. I can’t wait to start reading it. Places like Williamsburg and Gettysburg and Philadelphia, Lancaster, Washington DC, Ft. McHenry, Harper’s Ferry – and many more. So fun and inspiring.
Nate, Jen and Chrissy got me Cow Wind Chimes – so cute. I love hearing it. Also, a purple chair planter with mini petunias. So my mother’s day was complete. And Autmn txt me early this morning with a sweet message.

And happy Mother’s Day to my mom – whom I miss and am thankful for!
QUOTE of the DAY:
PEANUTS?
Tomorrow May 11th is:
Hostess Cupcake Day; National Eat What you Want Day; National Foam Rolling day; National Mocha Torte Day; National Twilight Zone Day; National Women’s Checkup Day; World Ego Awareness Day; World Topiary Day.
I generally eat what I want. Why would I eat what I DON’T want? Tomorrow is also my nephew Jesse’s birthday – we’ll address that tomorrow. God bless.
