My Grand Birthday!

My sweet kids out did themselves this year. They sent me into the National Forest with their father (he had a cache to put out for Geocaching) while they prepared everything for my birthday celebration. We got lost and I was so afraid we were going to be late. We took a road we had not been on before, which is a mistake where we live. A road can go over several mountains and wind on FOREVER. It was beautiful with long range views, mountain laurel and streams, but I started to get anxious. I knew the children were working hard, and I did not want to arrive 45 minutes late. We were only 8 mins. late!!

Dinner was many of my favorites: baked potatoes w/ toppings, spinach salad w/ Hannah's balsamic dressing, egg rolls w/ cheese and jalapeno peppers, and tempura greenbeans!!! Hannah made a wonderful birthday cake with raspberry filling and chocolate frosting. YUM!!!!

The girls made a sign, cards and decorations too!

Birthday

Today I creep over the hill and start down toward the big 5 0. 46, when did that happen?

A friend became a grandmother on my birthday. WHAT?? And she is younger than me!

My sweet Rita called me to wish me happy birthday and gave me a verse. It is perfect.

Isaiah 46:4 (note it is chapter 46, my age, and verse 4, my birth month)

Even to your old age and gray hairs
I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

God is good all the time!!!

The kids cleaned the house last night while I took supper to William. He is staying over at his dad's to give his sister a break. Today they are cooking me dinner and a birthday cake!! I have good kids!!!
