Our good news is that while dad does have cancer, it is contained and they only need to do surgery to deal with it! Let me tell you we were very happy yesterday.
It was my mom's birthday, too. I took her out in the afternoon. We went to the Amish greenhouse. I got some flowers to refresh a few spots in my pots, and she bought some flowers to pot up for herself.
Then we went to see Wes and Rachel at work, since I knew that Rachel had something for my mom. It was a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers from a local Amish stand.
Mom and I decided to go check that Amish stand out, and I bought strawberries. Four quarts of 'seconds' were $16. These are local strawberries and I cut them up and made a yellow cake, again, and some whipped cream.
It's my traditional cake for my mom's birthday!
Then we came home, and I cooked dinner. We had a good time. Our friend Denny was here, and Wes and Rachel came by, too.
Rachel and Sarah are enjoying spending time together. Sarah flies to Alberta on June 1st, and will be there all summer.
Our school year is nearly finished. I am looking forward to a fun summer. I'm hoping its hot enough to swim a lot.
Are you thinking of summer yet?
Such good news! What a relief for your dad and his family!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Sarah was going to Alberta? Alberta, Canada where the forest fires are? Maybe there's another Alberta. Will she be doing mission work?
Happy Belated Birthday to your mom🎈
Wonderful news for all of you!
ReplyDeleteI have the same questions about Alberta as Vee. Will love to hear more about Sarah's summer plans!
