It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want too… that's how the lyrics go but today there are no tears - I just feel happy and blessed in so many ways.
The last few days I've been going to Mom's for just a few hours a day - she is getting more independent by the day and in fact, this morning drove herself to the grocery store to pick up stuff for lunch, including a delicious birthday cake for Olaf and I. Tonight I'll go in for the night as she has an early appointment on Monday, but otherwise, I think she's good to manage on her own with Dad's help :-)
Yesterday was gorgeous! I took Mom to Costco after lunch, grabbed a Frosty at Wendy's and then as soon as I was finished eating, I abandoned Mom to her afternoon nap and came home for a bit of cooking and an afternoon on the deck. Olaf & Stephanie arrived around 4:30 for our brother/sister birthday celebration - luckily the weather was still perfect so we were able to spend at least an hour or two enjoying the out-of-doors before we retired to the warmth of the house where we nestled up against the kitchen island and filled ourselves with food! How lucky!
Awesome!
