Today we had a Wilmore celebration for Madison who will be 8 on April 6. It was a good day. Ann fixed a great dinner. We had cake and ice cream followed by fun time visiting around the fire in our new firepit. Melissa gave us the firepit for our “everything” present as she calls it.
But this best part of the day for me was when Madison brought me this note:
Recently, Pastor Steve remarked during his sermon (don’t remember why),
“My wife Marilyn says that when she dies she wants to come back as a slender blonde.”
Without hesitation, from amidst the congregation, Marilyn retorted:
“No, that’s when YOU die.”
When grandaughter Meredith saw this frog she immediately proclaimed that it looked like Papa sitting there. Oh well.
Yesterday we joined the Crocketts and Gabeharts for an afternoon at the Louisville Zoo. It was a great day and we have pictures to prove it!
Today has been unusual. Ann and I have been under the weather. She has been sick for several days and I went puny yesterday evening. As a result, most of today has been taking it easy. Ann stayed in bed mostly and I have napped in the recliner. I think that I have turned the corner. Ann is still fighting her “bug”. The Crocketts came over for a visit this afternoon and we sat on the deck and enjoyed the sunshine for a few minute.
Tomorrow I am picking up Andrew Verble for church and lunch. He is in rehab in Lexington. If you do not remember, Andrew is the young man who suffered severe head injuries in an auto accident. He was not expected to recover. Not only did he live, he continues to make progress toward a normal lifestyle. It has been and will be a long journey but he is determined. This is the first time I have seen him since last fall.
Next week is spring break for the kids. Things will pick up around Wilmore. We expect Melissa and her kids to visit sometime.
I almost forgot. GO CARDS!!!
