The timing of Todd's trip allowed him to not only be here for Mother's Day (thank you Kathy), but also his birthday. We went to Amy's the night before to celebrate Mother's Day and both Todd's birthdays. And there was time before his flight for some birthday pancakes.
I was chatting on the phone with Todd about birthday ideas, when he asked how grandma was doing. I told him her walking was getting more difficult and I wasn't sure what was going to happen. He called back an hour later, asking if I could pick him up from the airport the next day!! He was concerned about grandma and wanted to get down here for a visit while she was still at home.
What a wonderful visit. We spent some time getting my garden ready for the year. For Mother's Day, he brought potato starts, onion starts, new sprinklers, and a soil testing kit from Utah.
Not only did we get all of that planted, but we amended the soil and planted corn, beets, tomatoes, strawberries, and beans.
Happy 15th birthday, my sweet Claire. I can't believe your are ready for your learner's permit!!
