Celebrations and Preparations

Jesse has turned 2!  Time is going by so fast.  I spent all day Thursday making his birthday cake, then we drove to Paris that evening.  Thanks to Mandy and Stephen for entrusting this job to me.  I know my skills are rusty after 11 years of being away from the business.  I do enjoy being able to do cakes for my loved ones though! 



Dennis and I spent Friday with Jesse.  He is so much fun!  He loves to play in the bushes outside…they are his own little woods.  There is one large stump that has been cut down almost level with the ground.  He heads straight for it every time!  He’ll just stand there with a thoughtful look on his face, tapping his little foot.  Sure wish I knew what was going on in his mind!  He is talking quite a bit more…with still a lot of jibberish mixed in.  He loves his ‘males (tamales) and rice…and PEACHES!  As with most kiddos his age, I think his favorite words right now are “mine” and “no”.  They all go through that stage!

We headed home Friday night.  Wayne and Mayrene were having their 75^th Anniversary celebration on Saturday afternoon.  Unfortunately I woke up Saturday morning with a bad sore throat.  I didn’t know if I was contagious or not, so Dennis ended up going to the party without me.  (I felt better today…no more sore throat, just a bit “sinusy”.)



Gift I made for the Darnells

We had a lot of visitors at Highway this morning!  The Hays were here for the anniversary party, and the Pettits were also up.  It was good to see all of them today.

Well, one week until my foot surgery.  There is a lot to do between now and then!  We are supposed to put the car in the body shop in the morning.  It is only supposed to take 2-3 days for them to get it finished.  I have 3 visits to do this week for CASA, since I will be “incapacitated” for the remainder of the month.  Dennis and I both also have dentist appointments this week.  Plus I need to give the house a good cleaning while I still can!

I hope you all have been enjoying this beautiful spring-like weather we’ve enjoyed the past few days.  Winter hasn’t finished with us yet!
