Happy 68th Birthday to me!

Sheri, Ian, Alex, and Ben arrived home last night around midnight.  We stayed until they arrived and then we went to Cathi and Terry's 

to sleep.  As I was reading to James he was lying on the bed.  Lady came in for a visit and of course she had to be on the bed too.

This is the scripture that kept me from going into

a deep depression when I first came down with

rheumatoid arthritis and was bedridden.

I love all things purple:

This would make a nice gift

I love my grandchildren!

Here are just a couple.

I love good food!

James took me to Olive Garden for lunch

and this is my favorite dish at the OG,

chicken scampi.

I love my family!

Here are some more pictures from Havasupai:

Today was a great day.  I got lots of birthday wishes on Facebook, around 85.  Sheri,  and Kim gave me cards and so did Lois and Dawn.  I got a call from Jared and birthday wishes from Darrel and Trina.  James really made my day special.  He left his truck so he could ride home to Vernon with me.  When we arrived we watched a Hallmark movie, "Summer in the City."  It was a great day even if I did turn 68.  Addy texted me and wished me a Happy Birthday and so did Alex and Adam.  Max and Evan gave me birthday hugs.
