Thank You So Much!

• I'm loving our Digital Picture Frame.  Thanks, Heather, James, Samantha & Haley.  
  
• I'm also loving my Digital Picture Key Chain.  Thanks, Cheryl, Robert, my sweet Emma and Eden for the sixth best Mother's Day present ever.  The first five, of course, are Austin, Samantha, Hayley, Emma and Eden!  <3

Big Oops!

Happy belated birthday, Cheryl!  I read your delightful birthday cake story and for some reason registered Mother's Day.  I hope it was happy in spite of me.  You are so very special and I'm so lucky that you and Robert found each other.

Happy 3rd, Dave and Nicole!  I love the way you love each other.

Half Price Sale!!!!!

• Annie, have I got a car for you....It was 1/2 price. I guess because it had only one 8!!! lol Thinking of you with love.
  
• I just got a call from Cheryl. She put Emma on the phone who said, "Happy Day, Gammie!" really loud several times. Eden threw in a wail that I interpreted as the same greeting. I may now be hearing impaired but it was worth every decibel.
• Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there and up there too.

Blessings Galore

• Today I met Cheryl, Emma and Eden at the Dr Joe's.  I was in the room next to Cheryl and the girls.  While I was waiting I could hear Emma's soft sweet voice making all kinds of unintelligible conversation.  I sneezed a couple of times and then heard Emma saying the same thing over and over.  Finally, she ran into my room, blue eyes shining and said, "B'ess you, Gammy."  I've been smiling all day.  Eden slept the whole visit.  After a quick lunch at Carl's Jr we parted ways with hugs all around.   It was a short visit but I did get my Emma, Eden & Cheryl fix so I'm happy.  
  
• Glad you're doing better, Mary.
• This is a picture of me mowing, lol, my Grandma's lawn.  
• Love to all.

Apples of Gold

• Last night was the potluck for Apples of Gold, the mentoring group that I am a part of.  We all brought our favorite dishes and had a wonderful feast.  I made Chicken Kiev which is one of my few (or maybe two) specialties. A lot of work but I made it up Saturday and chilled overnight.  All that needed doing was to bake it for 20 minutes.  The other dishes were delicious.  Good food, good friends....perfect.  The girls gave us each a lovely bouquet of flowers.  I only sneezed once, something about florist flowers is they don't smell like homegrown.  Hope to get them to Mary before they or I wilt!
• Mary cut her leg again on a cardboard box.  The doctor who sewed her up did a much better job than the last one.  So less trauma.  Thank you Lord.   Bruce stayed with her Sunday night and we'll see how she's doing tonight, Monday.
• Dad, how are you.  Is your cold gone?  You get better too!  Love you.  

Miscellania (?)

• Larry, was good to hear from you.  I'm looking forward to our trip in June.  Love to Clara.
• Mary, keep getting better & better.  Got your emails but it was too late to reply by text.  Glad you're getting rest and taking your meds and treatments and all the myriad other things you have to do to stay well.  Let me know if I can help in anyway that doesn't involve lifting your walker chair and pushing you uphill.  If I'm needed for an overnighter, I will bring warm clothes and that shawl you are making for me.  Looking forward to getting that.  Thanks for the prom picture or is that Tim's senior picture?  I have a very handsome nephew.  The mat/frame is of a better quality than I've seen before.  He is proudly displayed on our mantle.
• Tim, Bruce was really tickled to get your music on his IPod.  He needs to copy it onto mine.
• Dad, how are you feeling?  Is your cold gone yet?  Still looking forward to seeing your new car.  Maybe on the 18Th. 
• Dave and Nicole, we have photos for you.  Will give them to you Sunday.
• Love to all the rest of you.
