This is the planter box that Nicole made. It's not crooked,  just the picture taker, and that was me.

Do you think we had enough desert!!!  Every thing was home made and very good.  There's the cake Andrew made, the Rhubarb pie and frozen choc. pie Janene made and the choc. ice box cake Kristene made.

This is Ryan (Great Grandson) with his Granddad, Richard.

This has been a fun filled day.  I am going to type this as fast as I can because I am a bit tired and so I want to get this done before I forget everything I did today.  Got up, which can be a big first step in the day, then got phone calls from our children, then went over to Pasco to have brunch at I-Hop, then picked up a couple of items from Walmart, then went to the movie, "Charlie St. Cloud"  which we thought was very good, then home for a little rest, then over to the Law's for a family dinner and wonderful gifts.  Our children and spouses got me a  "Nook"  E-reader, which I have been reading a lot about.  It was a very big, wonderful, surprise.  Bill got me a candle warmer, real different, that I had picked out some time ago.  He also got me a cover for the "Nook".  Janene made me a strawberry, rhubarb pie, which happens to be my favorite food.  Remember a picture of our granddaughter, I had on my blog, July 5th, showing her working on a porch in a class she was taking.  Well, she made me a wooden planter with petunias planted inside.  She is very good at what she does.  Maybe she will build her own house someday or better yet one for us.  :-)  Andrew made my Birthday cake, which I have commissioned him to do every year. Very yummy!!  The Relief Society Presidency gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a darling little Birthday cake.  Our Great Grandson was there also, what a cutie and Sam is the best mom.  Well, now is the end of a perfect day.


SENIOR MOMENTS
  An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years.  He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%  The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again."  The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet.  I just sit around and listen to the conversations.  I've changed my will three times!"


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
  I always know...God won't give me more than I can handle.  There are times I just wish He didn't trust me quite so much.
