  • Early Birthday Party

    I had a LOVELY early birthday party on Saturday!

    My mom and dad and David showed up around 11:30 so that I could have some good visiting time with David before everyone showed up.  We did have a good time.  And before everyone else showed up, I took a Xanax, so I had fun once everyone else was here, too!  David bought me a very pretty pre-planted flower pot full of hot pink geraniums for the front porch.  Pretty Pretty.  And Mama and Daddy bought me a pink tooth (my razr is pink, so the pink blue tooth is hereby a pink tooth), and it came with a pretty leather cover for my phone and they bought me a cute leather carrying pouch for my pink tooth.

    It was "come & go," but no one goed.  They all got there and just stayed. But it still turned out fine.  David's sponsors from USAFA came and brought me a huge bouquet of daisies.  Mike & Leigh-Ann (who is fighting late stage ovarian cancer), brought me a really fun framed Funky Winkerbean cartoon about fighting cancer, but then below it is a section about Jehova Nissi, God who fights FOR us.  Becky and Ken brought me a book for praying for your kids.  It's written prayers, mostly scripture, with blanks to put your child's name into it.  Brenda and Mike brought me the willow-tree angel of Courage.

    Not that it's about the presents...

    My mom bought 3 HUGE cakes from Costco.  A lot of the cake wound up going back to USAFA with Jake. 

    This morning, we went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel, and Colton asked to be excused from the table while we were waiting for our food.  He went and bought me 3 very cute tulip shaped tea-light holders.  He was so proud.  Bought it with his own money and everything.  And since it was the last one, and there wasn't a box, the lady behind the counter wrapped it for him.

    My "Oldest Son," Dennis, donated money to our Disney trip, and also gave us enough for Paul and me to go away for the weekend to Taos or Santa Fe.  YAY!  We'll likely go to Taos.  We've talked about it, but didn't have the money for the hotel.  But we do now!  Thanks again, Dennis.  He left today, but we'll see him again soon.

    OK, I'm falling asleep.  Smooches and hugs.
