A Mother Who Knew

Today is my mother's birthday (shout hooray!) and as I ponder her life, I am amazed at her example of diligence, faith, patience, perseverance, endurance, and love unfeigned. I am so grateful she is my mother and hope that I can be a portion of what she is. She is definitely a mother who knew.

Happy birthday, Mom! I love you!

Shout Hooray!

Somebody has a birthday, and it's GRANDPA! He's 85 years old today. We gathered at Traci's while Lynda was in town to celebrate.





Having him live with us the last 10 months has been priceless. We enjoy his humor, wit, and faithful testimony. Ah, and his memory is excellent so we love to listen to his stories of yester-year (can you believe hot lunch cost $.03 in 1938).










Here's to another 85? No, we won't wish that on him, but here's to MANY more years of good health and a wonderful life.

Fun Visit

Company at the Hendricksons this week...Todd's sister, Lynda and her husband, Bill stayed for 5 days while visiting Dad. It was fun to catch up and be with them.

We didn't do a lot as they really just wanted to visit with Dad, but we did drive to Crown Center and met Todd at his office. After the exciting tour of the FDIC Regional Office we ate lunch at a classy downtown KC restaurant--Wendy's:-)

And I will never complain about my husband's funny-looking feet again, as Uncle Bill's feet easily out did Todd's....as you can see.
