Happy Birthday, Mr. M!

Yesterday was Mr. M's 89th birthday. We spent the morning at the doctor's office (I tried to get the appointment for another day, but they didn't have anything available). Then we went to Cracker Barrel for lunch--Mr. M had chicken and dumplings, green beans, fried okra, and apple pie with ice cream. I had a grilled cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato, steak fries, and apple pie.

After I took him home (with a stop at the pharmacy), I got gas in the truck and went to Scottsville to pick up Pepper's medicine. Then, to the grocery store to get ingredients for banana pudding. I stopped at L's (a mutual friend who does cooking and light housekeeping for Mr. M) to drop off the ingredients so she could make the pudding. I stayed for supper, then stopped by Mr. M's to drop off Pepper's medicine and have a piece of birthday cake with him. I was home by 7:00.

Birthday Party for Dad

Today we celebrated Dad's 81st birthday. His actual birthday isn't for a few more days, but today was when we had time to get together. We had spaghetti, garlic bread, succotash, Italian vegetables, yellow cake with buttercream icing, and ice cream.

Happy Birthday, T!

T is 16 today! We celebrated yesterday (since M had to work at the office today). My dad came down for lunch (spaghetti, garlic bread, corn from our garden, and broccoli). T wanted a lemon cake with lemon frosting--the consistency of the frosting was weird--kind of translucent--the cake showed through. It tasted good, though. We also had peach frozen yogurt and blueberry pomegranate ice cream. L had left some gifts behind for T--a college dictionary and a couple devotional books based on the Andy Griffith Show. He also got a couple videos, some audio CD's of his favorite radio show, and a couple books. Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my big brother, the author of Eldon's Birds and my inspiration! Hope it's a good one!

Happy Birthday, Eric!

Yesterday was my brother's birthday. Happy Birthday!
We gathered family members and celebrated.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Over all, a good day.

I studied for my algebra final for a couple hours this morning--took a break and did some errands and started lunch--T finished fixing it since it was my birthday.

Studied for a couple more hours this afternoon--hope all the questions on the test are the easy ones from the review!

M and T took me to Pizza Hut and then for ice cream at suppertime to celebrate. (L was taking her next to last final.) Then they bought me a book I wanted--Debbie Macomber's lastest book--just came out today--"Twenty Wishes".

I got a couple e-cards, a couple cards in the mail, a hand delivered card from Daddy, and phone calls from both brothers.

A very nice day.
