On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

53rd birthday

Talk about a great day.

Christian had spent the night because he had his first fencing lesson at 10 AM. So, he and I woke up and headed out for some breakfast before his lesson. We stopped at Denny's and the hostess seated us by two old guys who were talking to each other. Christian immediately jumped into their conversation and the guys were kind enough to let him in and they kept him in the conversation. It was a blast listening to them talk.



Then we went to his first fencing lesson. The boy is good. He surprised me with his knowledge of the various parts and terms involved in fencing. He had good form from what I could tell.

Then he and I met up with Lindsay and her family and Michael and the rest of his family at the bowling alley in Raytown MO. We had a good time bowling and eating and drinking. Even Craig's Mom showed up.



After bowling everyone headed home. I have to admit that I headed home for a nap. The dogs kept me up most of the night and the beer definitely put me in the sleeping mood - or so I thought. I didn't sleep but it was nice to have some down time.

Mia had invited me to their house for a birthday dinner. Mendy made some of the best mac and cheese and a salad that was fresh and good. I really enjoyed sitting down with Mendy, Mia and Luke at the dinner table.. Mia had decorated the lake by saying Happy Birthday Aunt Kelly Jil. lol They got me cards and presents . . . it was a really nice night. Mendy bought me the movie Courageous and she even got me The Resolution for Women. Mendy is the most thoughtful person. She spoils me all the time. She knew this meant a lot to me. Luke went to spend the night with his friend while the girls watched The Voice.

This was a special day full of the people I love.
