Happy Birthdays Celebrated and Mothers Day

This past week was a bit of a tough one what with my Birthday and Mothers Day to celebrate. The birthday went quickly with a great lunch in Ann Arbor with Hilary (Mahon) and a special evening with Steve. (Mike was at his last day at VPD) I enjoyed the day itself and did not think about the past or the future. Thank you for all the cards and good wishes. I still absolutely feel the positive thoughts and prayers coming my way.

Saturday my parents arrived and we were able to sit outside and catch up on all the events in their lives as well as sharing our adventures in Tortola. We had a celebratory meal on Saturday night for birthday girls and Mothers Day. Steve and Mike did as excellent job on grilling and cleanup. We showed Mom and Dad the new Bass Pro store where Mike will be working and in general just had a good time with loved ones. We missed our Jessica, and Jesi and AJ, but plans are being formulated for a family gathering this summer.

Todays thought:
"The gift of happiness belongs to those who unwrap it."

Belated but loving birthday and Mother's Day wishes. Sounds like you had a lovely time both days!
I continue to think of you and pray for you as you so courageously move forward and continue to find times of peace and enjoyment while you work through your grief.
I love that you are taking a ceramics class - you will be terrific at throwing (it takes strength and coordination - you excel in both)! I minored in art in college and when it came to the pottery wheel and throwing pots, the best I could do is one pot an inch thick and two inches high. Needless to say, I was much better at handbuilding! You will enjoy it, and I will be so bold as to put in my order for a vase!
Loving you dearly!
