Update on the Birthday Boy and Update on My Friend Peggy

I talked to Richard and our son-in-law Brian was taking him to lunch. Brian actually called and invited me but with taking Peggy to the doctor I wasn't able to meet them. I did so very much appreciate Brian's invitation for me to join them but knew that Richard and Brian would enjoy their "shop talk" over lunch.

My friend Peggy was told that she no longer needs her blood pressure meds and that they were over medicating her!! What great news to receive that she doesn't need them. She should feel much better in a few days as she comes off of them. God is good!!!

Gotta get in there and make a banana pudding for the birthday dinner party at Amy's and Brian's this evening.....

I had a wonderful birthday today....

I have had a wonderful birthday. I heard from my precious children: Chip in Indiana as well as from Amy and her family who are on vacation. I heard from my sisters. I always so very much miss my parents on my birthday but rejoice in knowing that they are awaiting all of us in Heaven. I enjoyed gifts, cards and emails from a host of family and friends. Richard planned a wonderful birthday surprise for me. On Saturday night I knew we were going out to dinner with one couple; but unbeknownst to me, Richard also invited two other couples to join us. It was a fun evening of wonderful fellowship. After dinner, the restaurant where we were dining invited us to go out to the garden and pick some veggies to take home. That was a treat and we are especially enjoying the vine-ripened tomatoes. Anyway, it has been my very best birthday ever, and that's saying a lot for having now celebrated 56 of them!! Thanks to everyone for your good wishes! ~~Susan
