We were able to attend Ame'lia's recognition for her artistic abilities, even though the announcer could only manage to introduce her as "Amy H."
Allan enlisted help from two strong men (Jason and Chris) for assembling his new shed one Saturday so we took the little ones to the Treehouse Museum for a fun play date. There is so much to play with and do there that the kids were almost overwhelmed but they did a pretty good job of tiring out their grandma and mommies!
Thanksgiving day was filled with lots of good grub, thanks to the help of all the girls, a pretty grand performance by the grandkids, Jake's birthday celebration and "treasure hunt", some crafting with the girls, topped off with birthday cake and thanksgiving pies! What a day!!!
My mother has been with us for the past week and we had such a good visit. One day all the "girls" met for lunch at the new Brick Oven and had a grand time. My sister Jerilyn and her daughters and all of our girls came and it was a treat to have the occasion to catch up and renew family bonds.
Mother is celebrating her 91st birthday this week so we had a birthday dinner with the Thurgood relatives. This is most of what is left on both sides of our family . They are all such good people and it was a wonderful evening to reminisce and listen to wonderful stories of times past. My mother continues to amaze us all. She is independent, optimistic, full of life and engaged in meaningful things. She is such an example to a HUGE posterity of commitment and faithfulness. I am a better person because she is my mother!!
