Mel said he enjoyed being here for last year's breakfast so much, he wanted to make the drive again! I'm really impressed by his willingness to drive two days to see us. It was the usual food and family, with a croquet game thrown in. The weather cooperated and everyone had lots of fun. I love this tradition.
One of our old-time friends decided to move to Utah to get some family help with her declining husband. So several of s et for lunch to say goodbye.
I splurged and bought a Disneyland pass this year...the cheap one...where you can't go on weekend...and summers...but who wants to go then because it's too hot and crowded! Anyway, I went today, but just for the parade and fireworks! That's the nice thing about a pass. You don't need to spend an entire day to feel like you are getting your money's worth!
Mom would have been 103 today, and she's been gone almost five years. That is almost imposable to believe! Amy and Todd couldn't come down on Sunday, so they showed up Monday evening to reminisce and wish mom a happy birthday. Notice the added treat this year of Cadbury Eggs?! Some stretching was also accomplished!! Afterwards, we had a dinner of all of mom's favorites, pizza, milk, and banana cream pie. Happy Birthday, mom. You are missed every day!
Every year I have Chris from The Plant Nerd to come back and refresh my landscaping. It always looks new when he finishes. This year, the side yard had gotten too big so he pulled it all out and started over again. It all looks so great, ready for the summer!!
