HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ELLEN AND MARKMark's mom Linda and dad Bill
Uncle Paul, Bob and our friends Fredna and Jim Watson. Oh, and Howard's arm.Mark's brother Mike and Eunice's arm are new to this picture.
Larry's brother Bob visited from Houston Wednesday and surprised me with a culinary delight for Ellen and Mark's birthday party last night. He made guacamole dip with pita dippers and it was the hit of the party. Thank you Bob!
When I looked at Larry's pictures tonight I was surprised to see Sophie admiring the pearl beads on the tree. Later on in life I'm sure she'll want to wear them instead of taste them. They do match her bracelet! What an eye she has!
I feel I'm a step ahead of the Christmas mayhem this year since I did get 75% of the decorating completed for the party. Now for the other 25%! Today Jennifer reminded me of the shopping challenges that still await me. Bummer. However, everyone sent me their list. This is a first and I now realize how easy this could be. After spending 2 weeks with Uncle Paul I quickly relearned the value of looking for the positive in life.
Today Uncle Paul and Bob returned to Houston. Their visit passed too quickly. We had wonderful days of fun, good food and card playing. We played Spite and Malice morning, noon and night. Thanks for the good times Bob and Paul.
