Day Sixty Two 2013
Peeps at Poet’s On The Square coffeehouse. From left: grandson Knox, hubby Neil, daughter Kelly, niece Julia, grand daughter Shelby, sister Jane, niece Sarah, and grandson Elijah. We don’t get to gather here very often, but when we do, we have loads of fun. And yummy coffee and frozen goodies. Hope we get to do this again soon.

Day Sixty One 2013
Ever Lovin Saturday
We’ve had some snow here, starting this past Thursday.
It started coming down again late last night.
We got maybe an inch. Maybe.
Really pretty. We don’t get big snows any more. I miss those. But we’ll take what we can get.
A bird in hand is worth four in the bush. Inflation, you know. I think these are waiting their turn at the feeders.
Since daughter Kelly and grandson Knox are visiting this weekend, Neil made yummy blueberry waffles for (a late) breakfast.
His blueberry waffles are the best. Did I say they are yummy? They are.
Grandson Knox didn’t care for any waffles. He just wanted to take his socks off.
We went to Starbucks for some coffee (what else?), squeezed in at a little table by the window, all cozied up next to about ten other people, and watched it snow. There’s something about Starbucks that just makes you want to kick back.
And fall asleep in Grandpa’s lap. Not even the aroma of caffeine could keep him awake at this point.
The proverbial blanket of snow, sliding off the hood of the car into fluffy white folds. It snowed again tonight and replaced all that was lost with a fresh blanket.
Neil finally got to celebrate his birthday this evening. He turned 62 on February 28, but due to other stuff happening in the family, we postponed the party until a more opportune moment which turned out to be tonight.
Happy Birthday, honey/hubby Neil! We enjoyed cake and ice cream and punch and a whole lot of chatter and laughter, as always when our family gets together. (Not that there’s always cake and ice cream and punch but that would be nice.)
And Neil enjoyed lots of cool cards and great gifts, which as you can see, he gave a thumbs up. Fun party. Worth the wait. Let’s do it all over again next year.
Happy Saturday, everyone!

Day Sixty 2013
Grandson Knox has no need of toys to amuse him. He’d rather play with anything that isn’t a toy. He sat on his ‘Pa’s’ lap for probably thirty minutes this evening, putting pens and pencils in this mug. Neil kept taking some back out, and Knox was happy to put them back in.
It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them.

Day Fifty Nine 2013
Happy Birthday to my honey/hubby Neil who turned 62 today.
We enjoyed a yummy supper at Ocha Thai deli this evening (the only one missing is son in law Kerry) and will party tomorrow night with cake and ice cream for the birthday boy.
We attended grandson Elijah’s Vision Basketball awards this evening. What a great night for all the kids who played this season. This was Elijah’s first time playing basketball, and he loved it. He won a team trophy, as all the kids did, but also won a medal for memorizing all his Bible verses for this season. And each team had one member who won a special award called the Paul award for player who improved most during the season. Elijah won this award. I am so proud of you, Elijah! Loved watching all your games and looking forward to seeing you play again next year.
